Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== ethtool: add uAPI for reading standard stats Continuing the effort of providing a unified access method to standard stats, and explicitly tying the definitions to the standards this series adds an API for general stats which do no fit into more targeted control APIs. There is nothing clever here, just a netlink API for dumping statistics defined by standards and RFCs which today end up in ethtool -S under infinite variations of names. This series adds basic IEEE stats (for PHY, MAC, Ctrl frames) and RMON stats. AFAICT other RFCs only duplicate the IEEE stats. This series does _not_ add a netlink API to read driver-defined stats. There seems to be little to gain from moving that part to netlink. The netlink message format is very simple, and aims to allow adding stats and groups with no changes to user tooling (which IIUC is expected for ethtool). On user space side we can re-use -S, and make it dump standard stats if --groups are defined. $ ethtool -S eth0 --groups eth-phy eth-mac eth-ctrl rmon Stats for eth0: eth-phy-SymbolErrorDuringCarrier: 0 eth-mac-FramesTransmittedOK: 0 eth-mac-FrameTooLongErrors: 0 eth-ctrl-MACControlFramesTransmitted: 0 eth-ctrl-MACControlFramesReceived: 1 eth-ctrl-UnsupportedOpcodesReceived: 0 rmon-etherStatsUndersizePkts: 0 rmon-etherStatsJabbers: 0 rmon-rx-etherStatsPkts64Octets: 1 rmon-rx-etherStatsPkts128to255Octets: 0 rmon-rx-etherStatsPkts1024toMaxOctets: 1 rmon-tx-etherStatsPkts64Octets: 1 rmon-tx-etherStatsPkts128to255Octets: 0 rmon-tx-etherStatsPkts1024toMaxOctets: 1 v1: Driver support for mlxsw, mlx5 and bnxt included. Compared to the RFC I went ahead with wrapping the stats into a 1:1 nest. Now IDs of stats can start from 0, at a cost of slightly "careful" u64 alignment handling. v2: Add missing kdoc in patch 5. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
