[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 3/8] ethdev: expose extended error stats

[Olivier MATZ]

Hi Maryam,

The API of the driver-specific function should be the same than
the generic one, described in rte_ethdev.h.

What I mean is:
  - the xstats pointer is the place where the xstats should be written
    by the driver
  - the n argument is the number of entries in the xstats structure

The driver should not have to worry about the generic stats written
by the generic layer.

Please see some comments below to fix it.

The modifications in ixgbe driver can be removed: the patch 2/8 already
provides everything that is required.

it should be:

   xcount = (*dev->dev_ops->xstats_get)(dev, &xstats[count],
   		(n > count) ? n - count : 0);


> +		if (xcount < 0)

it should be:

   if (n < count + xcount)
   	return count + xcount;
