[net-next,v8,0/4] page_pool: Add stats counters

Message

Greetings:

Welcome to v8.

This revision updates the ethtool name strings of page pool stats in the 
mlx5 driver to be more user friendly.

I've included Jesper's ACK tag and Ilias' Reviewed-by tags to the first 3
commits, but otherwise no other changes have been made.

Benchmark output from the v7 cover [1] is pasted below, as it is still
relevant since no functional changes have been made in this revision:

Benchmarks have been re-run. As always, results between runs are highly
variable; you'll find results showing that stats disabled are both faster
and slower than stats enabled in back to back benchmark runs.

Raw benchmark output with stats off [2] and stats on [3] are available for
examination.

Test system:
	- 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6140 CPU @ 2.30GHz
	- 2 NUMA zones, with 18 cores per zone and 2 threads per core

v7 -> v8:
	- Rename mlx5 ethtool stats so that users have a better idea of
	  their meaning.

v6 -> v7:
	- stats split out into two structs one single per-page pool struct
	  for allocation path stats and one per-cpu pointer for recycle
	  path stats.
	- page_pool_get_stats updated to use a wrapper struct to gather
	  stats for allocation and recycle stats with a single argument.
	- placement of structs adjusted
	- mlx5 driver modified to use page_pool_get_stats API

v5 -> v6:
	- Per cpu page_pool_stats struct pointer is now marked as
	  ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp. Placement of the field in the
	  struct is unchanged; it is the last field.

v4 -> v5:
	- Fixed the description of the kernel option in Kconfig.
	- Squashed commits 1-10 from v4 into a single commit for easier
	  review.
	- Changed the comment style of the comment for
	  the this_cpu_inc_alloc_stat macro.
	- Changed the return type of page_pool_get_stats from struct
	  page_pool_stat * to bool.

v3 -> v4:
	- Restructured stats to be per-cpu per-pool.
	- Global stats and proc file were removed.
	- Exposed an API (page_pool_get_stats) for batching the pool stats.

v2 -> v3:
	- patch 8/10 ("Add stat tracking cache refill") fixed placement of
	  counter increment.
	- patch 10/10 ("net-procfs: Show page pool stats in proc") updated:
		- fix unused label warning from kernel test robot,
		- fixed page_pool_seq_show to only display the refill stat
		  once,
		- added a remove_proc_entry for page_pool_stat to
		  dev_proc_net_exit.

v1 -> v2:
	- A new kernel config option has been added, which defaults to N,
	   preventing this code from being compiled in by default
	- The stats structure has been converted to a per-cpu structure
	- The stats are now exported via proc (/proc/net/page_pool_stat)

Joe Damato (4):
  page_pool: Add allocation stats
  page_pool: Add recycle stats
  page_pool: Add function to batch and return stats
  mlx5: add support for page_pool_get_stats
