STRUCT VLAN_PCPU_STATS(9)

💅 struct vlan_pcpu_stats(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct vlan_pcpu_stats(9) — no cap, this is the moment.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct vlan_pcpu_stats — literally the VLAN percpu rx/tx stats struct. that's it, that's the vibe. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole thing, character for character, do not touch:

struct vlan_pcpu_stats {
    u64_stats_t rx_packets;
    u64_stats_t rx_bytes;
    u64_stats_t rx_multicast;
    u64_stats_t tx_packets;
    u64_stats_t tx_bytes;
    struct u64_stats_sync   syncp;
    u32 rx_errors;
    u32 tx_dropped;
 };

she's giving per-CPU counter realness 🦋

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so let's meet the cast, one by one, main character energy only:

• rx_packets — number of received packets. the receipts, literally. 📥
• rx_bytes — number of received bytes. more receipts, but by the byte. 🍓
• rx_multicast — number of received multicast packets. group chat packets, iykyk. 👯
• tx_packets — number of transmitted packets. what we send out into the world. 📤
• tx_bytes — number of transmitted bytes. the send, but in bytes. ✨
• syncp — synchronization point for 64bit counters. she keeps the 64bit counters from getting messy — respect her. 🔥
• rx_errors — number of rx errors. not iconic but we must report them. 😭
• tx_dropped — number of tx drops. rip to those, fr fr. 💀
