Dennis Chen 0c399fd6ac i40e: report VF tx_dropped with tx_errors instead of tx_discards
[ Upstream commit 50b2af451597ca6eefe9d4543f8bbf8de8aa00e7 ]

Currently the tx_dropped field in VF stats is not updated correctly
when reading stats from the PF. This is because it reads from
i40e_eth_stats.tx_discards which seems to be unused for per VSI stats,
as it is not updated by i40e_update_eth_stats() and the corresponding
register, GLV_TDPC, is not implemented[1].

Use i40e_eth_stats.tx_errors instead, which is actually updated by
i40e_update_eth_stats() by reading from GLV_TEPC.

To test, create a VF and try to send bad packets through it:

$ echo 1 > /sys/class/net/enp2s0f0/device/sriov_numvfs
$ cat test.py
from scapy.all import *

vlan_pkt = Ether(dst="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff") / Dot1Q(vlan=999) / IP(dst="192.168.0.1") / ICMP()
ttl_pkt = IP(dst="8.8.8.8", ttl=0) / ICMP()

print("Send packet with bad VLAN tag")
sendp(vlan_pkt, iface="enp2s0f0v0")
print("Send packet with TTL=0")
sendp(ttl_pkt, iface="enp2s0f0v0")
$ ip -s link show dev enp2s0f0

$ python test.py

$ ip -s link show dev enp2s0f0

    TX: bytes  packets   dropped
             0        0        0

A packet with non-existent VLAN tag and a packet with TTL = 0 are sent,
but tx_dropped is not incremented.

After patch:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
