Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 2/2] netcons: Add udp send fail statistics to
netconsole
Enhance observability of netconsole. Packet sends can fail.
Start tracking at least two failure possibilities: ENOMEM and
NET_XMIT_DROP for every target. Stats are exposed via an additional
attribute in CONFIGFS.
The exposed statistics allows easier debugging of cases when netconsole
messages were not seen by receivers, eliminating the guesswork if the
sender thinks that messages in question were sent out.
Stats are not reset on enable/disable/change remote ip/etc, they
belong to the netcons target itself.
Reported-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@...ian.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZsWoUzyK5du9Ffl+@gmail.com/
