[ Upstream commit 6f2684bf2b ]
Currently veth devices use the lstats per-CPU traffic counters, which only
cover TX traffic. veth_get_stats64() actually populates RX stats of a veth
device from its peer's TX counters, based on the assumption that a veth
device can _only_ receive packets from its peer, which is no longer true:
For example, recent CNIs (like Cilium) can use the bpf_redirect_peer() BPF
helper to redirect traffic from NIC's tc ingress to veth's tc ingress (in
a different netns), skipping veth's peer device. Unfortunately, this kind
of traffic isn't currently accounted for in veth's RX stats.
In preparation for the fix, use tstats (instead of lstats) to maintain
both RX and TX counters for each veth device. We'll use RX counters for
bpf_redirect_peer() traffic, and keep using TX counters for the usual
"peer-to-peer" traffic. In veth_get_stats64(), calculate RX stats by
_adding_ RX count to peer's TX count, in order to cover both kinds of
traffic.
veth_stats_rx() might need a name change (perhaps to "veth_stats_xdp()")
for less confusion, but let's leave it to another patch to keep the fix
minimal.
