This change retrieves network metrics for virtual functions from the device and exports them via the iproute2 interface. The code for retrieving the statistics from the device is taken from the out-of-tree driver. The feature was introduced with version 2.0.75.7, so the diff between this version and the previous version 2.0.72.4 was used to identify required changes. The export via ethtool is omitted in favor of using the standard ndo_get_vf_stats interface. Per-VF statistics can now be printed, for instance, via ip --statistics link show dev eth0 Signed-off-by: Maximilian Heyne <mheyne@amazon.de> Tested-by: Konrad Jankowski <konrad0.jankowski@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
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.
