Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] net/af_packet: improve Tx statistics accuracy
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2019 12:51:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1571313107-31794-1-git-send-email-flavia.musatescu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1570728870-26668-1-git-send-email-flavia.musatescu@intel.com>

When sendto call fails and ENOBUFS/EAGAIN error is being set
some of the packets are actually successfully transmitted.
There is no available count of those packets, so in order to
make the statistics more accurate, all the previously enqueued
packets will be considered successful, even though this is not
entirely correct.

Before:
   testpmd Tx statistics:
      TX-packets: 7529062   TX-errors: 3702150  TX-bytes:  451743720
   pktgen Rx statistics:
      Total Rx Pkts: 10700700

After:
   testpmd TX statistics:
      TX-packets: 11510625  TX-errors: 0        TX-bytes:  690637500
   pktgen Rx statistics:
      Total Rx Pkts: 10974307
