[PATCH net v4] net: wwan: qcom_bam_dmux: account network packets
From: Dmitry Sinyavin
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 14:47:59 EST
The BAM-DMUX data path does not update the network device packet and byte
counters. As a result, userspace sees zero traffic even while packets are
being transferred.
Use the standard per-CPU software statistics helpers. Account transmitted
packets after the driver has prepared and accepted them, before returning
NETDEV_TX_OK. The asynchronous DMA completion may run after the network
device has been unregistered. Account received packets after removing the
BAM-DMUX header and padding.
Fixes: 21a0ffd9b38c ("net: wwan: Add Qualcomm BAM-DMUX WWAN network driver")

v4:
- Move TX accounting from the asynchronous DMA completion to the transmit
path, avoiding access to statistics after netdev unregistration.
v3:
- Count packets discarded by the transmit error path.
v2:
- Read the TX payload length after unmapping the DMA buffer and combine the
network-device checks.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260831181006.1382372-1-sinyavin@xxxxxxxxx/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260830085400.2542956-1-sinyavin@xxxxxxxxx/
Build-tested for ARM with Clang and W=1 using allmodconfig and allyesconfig.
Tested on a ZTE MF283V with an MDM9607. The modem registered on LTE and
three 32-byte ICMP echo requests increased both wwan0 RX and TX counters by
three packets and 180 bytes. Bringing the interface down afterwards produced
no DMA, BAM-DMUX, or kernel fault messages.
