[RFC net-next] net: mvneta: align xdp stats naming scheme to mlx5 driver

Introduce "rx" prefix in the name scheme for xdp counters
on rx path.
Differentiate between XDP_TX and ndo_xdp_xmit counters

Hmmm... "rx_xdp_tx_xmit", I expected this to be named "rx_xdp_tx" to
count the XDP_TX actions, but I guess this means something else.

> +	{ ETHTOOL_XDP_XMIT, T_SW, "tx_xdp_xmit", },

Okay, maybe.  I guess, this will still be valid for when we add an XDP
egress/TX-hook point.

I don't like that you add a branch (if-statement) in this fast-path code.

Do we really need to account in the xmit frame function, if this was a
XDP_REDIRECT or XDP_TX that started the xmit?  I mean we already have
action counters for XDP_REDIRECT and XDP_TX (but I guess you skipped
the XDP_TX action counter).

It doesn't look like you have an action counter for XDP_TX, but we have
one for XDP_REDIRECT?

ack, good point..I think we can move the code in
mvneta_xdp_xmit_back/mvneta_xdp_xmit in order to avoid the if() condition.
Moreover we can move it out the for loop in mvneta_xdp_xmit().
I will fix in a formal patch

I did not get you here sorry, I guess they should be accounted in two separated
counters.

Well, IMHO the naming in mlx5 should not automatically be seen as the
correct way ;-)

Sure, but I want the "xmit" counter (or what every we call it) to only
increment if the Ethernet frame was successfully queued. For me that is
an important property of the counter.  As I want a sysadm to be able to
use this counter to see if frames are getting dropped due to TX-queue
overflow by comparing/correlating counters.

This also begs the question: Should we have a counter for TX-queue
overflows?  That will make it even easier to diagnose problems from a
sysadm perspective?

Checking code that got applied, you have xdp "action" counters for:
 - XDP_PASS     => stats->xdp_pass++;
 - XDP_REDIRECT => stats->xdp_redirect++ (on xdp_do_redirect == 0)
 - XDP_TX       => no-counter
 - XDP_ABORTED  => fall-through (to stats->xdp_drop++);
 - XDP_DROP     => stats->xdp_drop++

Notice the action XDP_TX is not accounted, that was my point.  While
all other XDP "actions" have a counter.

yes, it is just a matter of using "num_frame - drops" as counter in

nope, we have a counter for it...it is "rx_xdp_tx_xmit".
Moreover we have "tx_xdp_xmit" for ndo_xdp_xmit

- XDP_TX -> stats->xdp_tx++
- ndo_xdp_xmit -> stats->xdp_xmit++

Sorry for coming in late.

I thought the ability to attach a BPF program to a fexit of another BPF
program will put an end to these unnecessary statistics. IOW I maintain
my position that there should be no ethtool stats for XDP.

As discussed before real life BPF progs will maintain their own stats
at the granularity of their choosing, so we're just wasting datapath
cycles.

The previous argument that the BPF prog stats are out of admin control
is no longer true with the fexit option (IIUC how that works).

So you're proposing an admin that wants to keep track of XDP has to
(permantently?) attach an fexit program to every running XDP program and
use that to keep statistics? But presumably he'd first need to discover
that XDP is enabled; which the ethtool stats is a good hint for :)

Doesn't iproute2 clearly show that already via `ip l` that XDP is attached?

There is value in having something as essential as stats available
through standard APIs and tooling. mlx5, i40e, sfc, etc, etc already
provide stats via ethtool. This patch is making mvneta consistent with
existing stats from these other drivers.

Really, mistakes happen and a poorly implemented or inserted fexit
module should not be a reason to not have access to accurate and
working statistics for fundamental events.

I am therefore totally against requiring fexit for this functionality.
If you want more sophisticated events or custome ones, sure, but not
for this baseline stuff.

I do, however, think we need a way to turn off these counter bumps if
the user wishes to do so for maximum performance.

Bugs in bpf programs leading to lack of fundamental statistics.

I think that is absolutely the wrong tradeoff.

And if performance is a concern, we can have a knob to turn off
the xdp counter bumps.  This is something I totally support.

I completely agree.

It is the right way to go and we have precedence.

Yes, this point plus the precedence you mentioned elsewhere are quite
hard to contend with.

In an ideal world I was wondering if we could have the kernel install
the fexit hook, a'la what we do with drop monitor using tracepoints
from within the kernel.

Then have a proper netlink stats group for them, instead of the ethtool
free-form endlessly bikesheddable strings.

But I guess it could be hard to easily recover the source interface
pointer without digging through NAPI instances or such :S

Well, in practice we see that real-life[1] BPF progs don't maintain
stats (as I agree they _should_), and an end-user of this showed up on
XDP-newbies list, and I helped out, going in the complete wrong
direction, when it was simply the XDP prog dropping these packets, due
to builtin rate limiter.  It would have been so much easier to identify
via a simple counter, that I could have asked for from the sysadm.

Yes, exactly.  These statistics counters are only "basic" XDP events,
that e.g. don't count the bytes.  They are only the first level of
identifying what the system is doing.  When digging deeper we need
tracepoint and fexit.

I fully agree.

> the user wishes to do so for maximum performance.

I sort of agree, but having a mechanism to turn on/off these "basic"
counters might cost more than just always having them always on.  Even
the static_key infra will create sub-optimal code, which can throw-off
the advantage.

Maybe it is worth pointing out, that Lorenzo's code is doing something
smart, which lowers the overhead.  The stats struct (mvneta_stats) that
is passed to mvneta_run_xdp is not global, it only counts events in
this NAPI cycle, and is first transferred to the global counters when
drivers NAPI functions end, calling mvneta_update_stats().  (We can
optimized this a bit more on this HW as it is not necessary to have u64
