The function should simply return error. RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS is a hard limit which should be checked by ethdev. The reasonable next question is how to find out what is the maximum for PMD/HW. I think it deserves entry in dev_info. May be not now. "HW Stats Registers size" is too HW specific. It could be not HW, but the PMD limitation and limits for Rx and Tx could be different. So, may be something like: "Device max per Tx queue stats" >> * @return >> * Zero if successful.
