From 7eafd9b4005643cfc24f1daf78f4dd56ff71f559 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "sixiao@microsoft.com" Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 01:00:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hv_netvsc: use per_cpu stats to calculate TX/RX data Current code does not lock anything when calculating the TX and RX stats. As a result, the RX and TX data reported by ifconfig are not accuracy in a system with high network throughput and multiple CPUs (in my test, RX/TX = 83% between 2 HyperV VM nodes which have 8 vCPUs and 40G Ethernet). This patch fixed the above issue by using per_cpu stats. netvsc_get_stats64() summarizes TX and RX data by iterating over all CPUs to get their respective stats. This v2 patch addressed David's comments on the cleanup path when netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats() failed. Signed-off-by: Simon Xiao Reviewed-by: K. Y.
