[PATCH net-next 4/5] net/sched: netem: add per-impairment extended statistics
From: Stephen Hemminger
Date: Fri Apr 03 2026 - 18:56:37 EST
netem applies several impairments (delay, loss, corruption, duplication,
reordering) but exposes no counters distinguishing which impairment
affected a given packet.
Add a struct tc_netem_xstats reported via TCA_STATS_APP so that
userspace (tc -s qdisc show) can display per-impairment counters.
