      mvneta: add XDP ethtool errors stats for TX to driver · 15070919
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
      Adding ethtool stats for when XDP transmitted packets overrun the TX
      queue. This is recorded separately for XDP_TX and ndo_xdp_xmit. This
      is an important aid for troubleshooting XDP based setups.
      
      It is currently a known weakness and property of XDP that there isn't
      any push-back or congestion feedback when transmitting frames via XDP.
      It's easy to realise when redirecting from a higher speed link into a
      slower speed link, or simply two ingress links into a single egress.
      The situation can also happen when Ethernet flow control is active.
      
      For testing the patch and provoking the situation to occur on my
      Espressobin board, I configured the TX-queue to be smaller (434) than
      RX-queue (512) and overload network with large MTU size frames (as a
      larger frame takes longer to transmit).
      
      Hopefully the upcoming XDP TX hook can be extended to provide insight
      into these TX queue overflows, to allow programmable adaptation
      strategies.

      tehuti: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member · 23640d64
      Gustavo A. R. Silva authored
      The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
      extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
      variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
      introduced in C99:
      
      struct foo {
              int stuff;
              struct boo array[];
      };
      
      By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
      in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
      will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
      inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
      
      Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
      this change:
      
      "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
      may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
      zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
      
      This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
