[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/8] Expose IXGBE extended stats to DPDK apps

[Maryam Tahhan]

This patch set implements xstats_get() and xstats_reset() in dev_ops for
ixgbe to expose detailed error statistics to DPDK applications. The
dump_cfg application was extended to demonstrate the usage of
retrieving statistics for DPDK interfaces and renamed to proc_info
in order reflect this new functionality. This patch set also removes non
generic statistics from the statistics strings at the ethdev level and
marks the relevant registers as depricated in struct rte_eth_stats.

v2:
 - Fixed patch dependencies.
 - Broke down patches into smaller logical changes.

v3:
 - Removes non-generic stats fields in rte_stats_strings and deprecates
   the fields related to them in struct rte_eth_stats.
 - Modifies rte_eth_xstats_get() to return generic stats and extended stats.

v4:
 - Replace count use in the loop in ixgbe_dev_xstats_get() function definition with i.
 - Breakdown "ixgbe: add NIC specific stats removed from ethdev" into two patches, one
   that adds the stats and another that extends ierrors to include more error stats.
 - Remove second call to ixgbe_dev_xstats_get() from rte_eth_xstats_get().

Maryam Tahhan (8):
  ixgbe: move stats register reads to a new function
  ixgbe: add functions to get and reset xstats
  ethdev: expose extended error stats
  ethdev: remove HW specific stats in stats structs
  ixgbe: add NIC specific stats removed from ethdev
  ixgbe: return more errors in ierrors
  app: remove dump_cfg
  app: add a new app proc_info
