Subject: RE: [PATCH 11/12] sfc: Only count bad packets in rx_errors

Hi,

Different drivers include different errors in stats->rx_errors:

  bxn2	  bnx2x	  ixgbx	  sfc		  dnet	  atlx
----------------------------------------------------------------------
rx_length	rx_length	rx_length	rx_length	rx_length	rx_length
rx_over	rx_over							rx_over
rx_frame	rx_frame			rx_frame	rx_frame	rx_frame
rx_crc	rx_crc	rx_crc	rx_crc			rx_crc
		rx_fifo							rx_fifo
		rx_missed							rx_missed
						rx_symbol
								unsup_opcd
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there any documentation which defines what should this statistic include?

Thanks
Dmitry

rx_errors is defined as 'bad packets received', but we are currently
including various overflow errors as well.
