Subject: [RFC V7 PATCH 3/7] virtio-net: optimize free_old_xmit_skbs stats
Date: Mon, 25 May 2015 01:24:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1432531444-50193-4-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1432531444-50193-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com>

We already have counters for sent packets and sent bytes.
Use them to reduce the number of u64_stats_update_begin/end().

Take care not to bother with stats update when called
speculatively.
