forcedeth: use per cpu to collect xmit/recv statistics
When testing with a background iperf pushing 1Gbit/sec traffic and running
both ifconfig and netstat to collect statistics, some deadlocks occurred.
Ifconfig and netstat will call nv_get_stats64 to get software xmit/recv
statistics. In the commit f5d827aece36 ("forcedeth: implement
ndo_get_stats64() API"), the normal tx/rx variables is to collect tx/rx
statistics. The fix is to replace normal tx/rx variables with per
cpu 64-bit variable to collect xmit/recv statistics. The per cpu variable
will avoid deadlocks and provide fast efficient statistics updates.
In nv_probe, the per cpu variable is initialized. In nv_remove, this
per cpu variable is freed.
In xmit/recv process, this per cpu variable will be updated.
In nv_get_stats64, this per cpu variable on each cpu is added up. Then
the driver can get xmit/recv packets statistics.
A test runs for several days with this commit, the deadlocks disappear
and the performance is better.
Tested:
- iperf SMP x86_64 ->
Client connecting to 1.1.1.108, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.0 KByte (default)
