The previous patch changed when we increment the RX queue's rx_packets counter, to match the semantics of netdev per-queue stats. The differences between the old and new counts are scatter errors (which produce a WARN_ON) and this counter, which is incremented by efx_rx_packet__check_len() when an RX packet (which was placed in a single buffer by SG, i.e. n_frags == 1) has a length (from the RX event) which is too long to fit in the RX buffer. If this occurs, we drop the packet and fire a ratelimited netif_err(). The counter previously was not reported anywhere; add it to ethtool -S output to ensure users still have this information.

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 reStructuredText 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.
