net: rtnetlink: Add UAPI for obtaining L3 offload xstats
Add a new IFLA_STATS_LINK_OFFLOAD_XSTATS child attribute,
IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_L3_STATS, to carry statistics for traffic that takes
place in a HW router.
The offloaded HW stats are designed to allow per-netdevice enablement and
disablement. Additionally, as a netdevice is configured, it may become or
cease being suitable for binding of a HW counter. Both of these aspects
need to be communicated to the userspace. To that end, add another child
attribute, IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_HW_S_INFO:
- attr nest IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_HW_S_INFO
- attr nest IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_L3_STATS
- attr IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_HW_S_INFO_REQUEST
- {0,1} as u8
- attr IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_HW_S_INFO_USED
- {0,1} as u8
Thus this one attribute is a nest that can be used to carry information
about various types of HW statistics, and indexing is very simply done by
wrapping the information for a given statistics suite into the attribute
that carries the suite is the RTM_GETSTATS query. At the same time, because
_HW_S_INFO is nested directly below IFLA_STATS_LINK_OFFLOAD_XSTATS, it is
possible through filtering to request only the metadata about individual
statistics suites, without having to hit the HW to get the actual counters.
