[PATCH v6 10/11] net/rtap: add extended statistics support

Sun Feb 15 00:44:19 CET 2026
Add xstats support to rtap PMD following the virtio PMD design pattern.
Statistics provided per queue (14 Rx + 12 Tx):
- Packet size distribution (6 buckets: 64, 65-127, 128-255, 256-511,
512-1023, 1024-1518 bytes)
- Packet type classification (broadcast, multicast, unicast)
- Rx offload stats (LRO, checksum validation, mbuf alloc failures)
- Tx offload stats (TSO, checksum offload, multi-segment packets)
Statistics follow DPDK naming convention:
{direction}_q{queue_id}_{detail}_{unit}
Examples:
rx_q0_size_64_packets
rx_q0_broadcast_packets
rx_q0_lro_packets
tx_q0_tso_packets
tx_q0_checksum_offload_packets
