From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 15:45:56 +0000 (-0700) Subject: net: net: add a core netdev->tx_dropped counter X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=015f0688f57c;p=linux-beck.git net: net: add a core netdev->tx_dropped counter Dropping packets in __dev_queue_xmit() when transmit queue is stopped (NIC TX ring buffer full or BQL limit reached) currently outputs a syslog message. It would be better to get a precise count of such events available in netdevice stats so that monitoring tools can have a clue.
