Hi, Jakub,
Can we just count the rx_alloc_fail here?
If we implement the "netdev_stat_ops", we can report this counter.

We will redefine the rtase_rx_ring_fill() to check the buffers and
try to get page from the pool.
Should we return the budget to schedule this NAPI if there are some
empty buffers?

Thanks,
Larry
