The Felix PSFP counters suffer from the same problem as the ocelot ndo_get_stats64 ones - they are 32-bit, so they can easily overflow and this can easily go undetected. Add a custom hook in ocelot_check_stats_work() through which driver specific actions can be taken, and update the stats for the existing PSFP filters from that hook. Previously, vsc9959_psfp_filter_add() and vsc9959_psfp_filter_del() were serialized with respect to each other via rtnl_lock(). However, with the new entry point into &psfp->sfi_list coming from the periodic worker, we now need an explicit mutex to serialize access to these lists. We used to keep a struct felix_stream_filter_counters on stack, through which vsc9959_psfp_stats_get() - a FLOW_CLS_STATS callback - would retrieve data from vsc9959_psfp_counters_get(). We need to become smarter about that in 3 ways: - we need to keep a persistent set of counters for each stream instead of keeping them on stack - we need to promote those counters from u32 to u64, and create a procedure that properly keeps 64-bit counters. Since we clear the hardware counters anyway, and we poll every 2 seconds, a simple increment of a u64 counter with a u32 value will perfectly do the job. - FLOW_CLS_STATS also expect incremental counters, so we also need to zeroize our u64 counters every time sch_flower calls us Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
