OK. I'll test with the interface down.

Is there some publicly available Mellanox script I can run to test
all the different cases? That would make this much easier. Maybe
this is something to include in mlnx-tools on github?

The mlnx-tools scripts that includes some python scripts for setting
up QoS doesn't seem to work on my system, and outputs vague error
messages. I have no idea if I'm missing some kernel option, if the
device doesn't support it, or if I need some other dependency
installed.

I have been testing these patches on a:

Mellanox Technologies MT28800 Family [ConnectX-5 Ex]
firmware-version: 16.29.2002 (MT_0000000013)

OK, I'll do that.

OK, that makes sense to me.

So then I assume I can drop the mutex in mlx5e_get_queue_stats_tx
above, as well, for the same reasons?

Does this mean then that you are in favor of the implementation for
tx stats provided in this RFC and that I've implemented option 1 as
you described in the previous thread correctly?

OK.

I'll remove the parenthesis; I didn't run checkpatch.pl on this RFC
(which catches this), but I should have.

OK.
