ixgbe: Fix TX stats accounting
Here is an updated version, because ixgbe_get_ethtool_stats()
needs to call dev_get_stats() or "ethtool -S" wont give
correct tx_bytes/tx_packets values.
Several cpus can update netdev->stats.tx_bytes & netdev->stats.tx_packets
in parallel. In this case, TX stats are under estimated and false sharing
takes place.
After a pktgen session sending exactly 200000000 packets :
# ifconfig fiber0 | grep TX
TX packets:198501982 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Multi queue devices should instead use txq->tx_bytes & txq->tx_packets
in their xmit() method (appropriate txq lock already held by caller, no
cache line miss), or use appropriate locking.
After patch, same pktgen session gives :
# ifconfig fiber0 | grep TX
TX packets:200000000 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
