From fa89ff36da3857b73185134e73d7bdd57e6144e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Auke Kok Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:10:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ixgb: add RNBC counter - no buffer count - to ethtool stats This counter is valuable to determine if the system is unable to timely return buffers to the hardware and this counter starts to increase well before the hardware starts to drop packets. If users experience rx_no_buffer_count increasing, they should increase the amount of descriptors. That will provide more buffers for the hardware and will decrease the chance of hard drops.
