Hi,

I did not do a full review, but I think we should not try to make the same mistake as before and embed a structure inside a netlink message.

You are adding “struct ovs_vport_upcall_stats” but in theory, you could have just added the new entry to “ovs_vport_stats”. But this is breaking userspace as it expects an exact structure size :(

So I think the right approach would be to have “OVS_VPORT_ATTR_UPCALL_STATS” be an NLA_NESTED type, and have individual stat attributes as NLA_U64 (or whatever type you need).

What is also confusing is that you use upcall_packets in ovs_vport_upcall_stats, which to me are the total of up calls, but you called it n_missed in your stats. I think you should try to avoid missed in the upcall path, and just call it n_upcall_packets also.

In addition, I think you should keep two types of statics, and make them available, namely the total number of upcalls and the total of upcall failures.

Cheers,

Eelco
