====================
veth: XDP stats improvement
ndo_xdp_xmit in veth did not update packet counters as described in [1].
Also, current implementation only updates counters on tx side so rx side
events like XDP_DROP were not collected.
This series implements the missing accounting as well as support for
ethtool per-queue stats in veth.
Patch 1: Update drop counter in ndo_xdp_xmit.
Patch 2: Update packet and byte counters for all XDP path, and drop
counter on XDP_DROP.
Patch 3: Support per-queue ethtool stats for XDP counters.
Note that counters are maintained on per-queue basis for XDP but not
otherwise (per-cpu and atomic as before). This is because 1) tx path in
veth is essentially lockless so we cannot update per-queue stats on tx,
and 2) rx path is net core routine (process_backlog) which cannot update
per-queue based stats when XDP is disabled. On the other hand there are
real rxqs and napi handlers for veth XDP, so update per-queue stats on
rx for XDP packets, and use them to calculate tx counters as well,
contrary to the existing non-XDP counters.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
