    veth: ignore peer tx_dropped when counting local rx_dropped · e25d5dbc
    Jiang Lidong authored
    When local NET_RX backlog is full due to traffic overrun,
    peer veth tx_dropped counter increases. At that time, list
    local veth stats, rx_dropped has double value of peer
    tx_dropped, even bigger than transmit packets by peer.
    
    In NET_RX softirq process, if any packet drop case happens,
    it increases dev's rx_dropped counter and returns NET_RX_DROP.
    
    At veth tx side, it records any error returned from peer netif_rx
    into local dev tx_dropped counter.
    
    In veth get stats process, it puts local dev rx_dropped and
    peer dev tx_dropped into together as local rx_drpped value.
    So that it shows double value of real dropped packets number in
    this case.
    
    This patch ignores peer tx_dropped when counting local rx_dropped,
    since peer tx_dropped is duplicated to local rx_dropped at most cases.
