    hv_netvsc: Add per-cpu ethtool stats for netvsc · 6ae74671
    Yidong Ren authored
    This patch implements following ethtool stats fields for netvsc:
    cpu<n>_tx/rx_packets/bytes
    cpu<n>_vf_tx/rx_packets/bytes
    
    Corresponding per-cpu counters already exist in current code. Exposing
    these counters will help troubleshooting performance issues.
    
    for_each_present_cpu() was used instead of for_each_possible_cpu().
    for_each_possible_cpu() would create very long and useless output.
    It is still being used for internal buffer, but not for ethtool
    output.
    
    There could be an overflow if cpu was added between ethtool
    call netvsc_get_sset_count() and netvsc_get_ethtool_stats() and
    netvsc_get_strings(). (still safe if cpu was removed)
    ethtool makes these three function calls separately.
    As long as we use ethtool, I can't see any clean solution.
    
    Currently and in foreseeable short term, Hyper-V doesn't support
    cpu hot-plug. Plus, ethtool is for admin use. Unlikely the admin
    would perform such combo operations.
    
    Changes in v2:
      - Remove cpp style comment
      - Resubmit after freeze
    
    Changes in v3:
      - Reimplemented with kvmalloc instead of alloc_percpu
    
    Changes in v4:
      - Fixed inconsistent array size
      - Use kvmalloc_array instead of kvmalloc
