ethtool: add standard pause stats
Currently drivers have to report their pause frames statistics via ethtool -S, and there is a wide variety of names used for these statistics. Add the two statistics defined in IEEE 802.3x to the standard API. Create a new ethtool request header flag for including statistics in the response to GET commands. Always create the ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STATS nest in replies when flag is set. Testing if driver declares the op is not a reliable way of checking if any stats will actually be included and therefore we don't want to give the impression that presence of ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STATS indicates driver support. Note that this patch does not include PFC counters, which may fit better in dcbnl? But mostly I don't need them/have a setup to test them so I haven't looked deeply into exposing them :) v3: - add a helper for "uninitializing" stats, rather than a cryptic memset() (Andrew) Signed-off-by:Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Reviewed-by:
