[PATCH net-next 4/4] netem: add per-impairment extended statistics
From: Stephen Hemminger
Date: Fri May 01 2026 - 20:19:31 EST
Adds new counters that keep track of when netem applied
impairments (delay, loss, corruption, duplication, reordering).
Add a struct tc_netem_xstats reported via TCA_STATS_APP so that
userspace (tc -s qdisc show) can display per-impairment counters.
Use the WRITE_ONCE/READ_ONCE pattern to allow for lockless
qdisc usage.
Accompanying iproute2 change is submitted separately.
