      net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counter · caf586e5
      Eric Dumazet authored
      In various situations, a device provides a packet to our stack and we
      drop it before it enters protocol stack :
      - softnet backlog full (accounted in /proc/net/softnet_stat)
      - bad vlan tag (not accounted)
      - unknown/unregistered protocol (not accounted)
      
      We can handle a per-device counter of such dropped frames at core level,
      and automatically adds it to the device provided stats (rx_dropped), so
      that standard tools can be used (ifconfig, ip link, cat /proc/net/dev)
      
      This is a generalization of commit 8990f468
      
       (net: rx_dropped
      accounting), thus reverting it.
