[PATCH net] veth: Fix RX stats for bpf_redirect_peer() traffic

From: Peilin Ye
Date: Fri Oct 27 2023 - 14:48:29 EST


From: Peilin Ye <peilin.ye@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Traffic redirected by bpf_redirect_peer() (used by recent CNIs like
Cilium) is not accounted for in the RX stats of veth devices, confusing
user space metrics collectors such as cAdvisor [1], as reported by
Youlun.

Currently veth devices use the @lstats per-CPU counters, which only
cover TX traffic. veth_get_stats64() actually collects RX stats of a
veth device from its peer's TX (@lstats) counters, based on the
assumption that a veth device can _only_ receive packets from its peer,
which is no longer true.

Instead, use @tstats to maintain both per-CPU RX and TX traffic counters
for each veth device, and count bpf_redirect_peer() traffic in
skb_do_redirect().

veth_stats_rx() might need a name change (perhaps to "veth_stats_xdp()")
for less confusion, but let's leave it to a separate patch to keep this
fix minimal.

[1] Specifically, the "container_network_receive_{byte,packet}s_total"
counters are affected.
