    core: add stat to track unresolved discards in neighbor cache · 9a6d276e
    Neil Horman authored
    in __neigh_event_send, if we have a neighbour entry which is in
    NUD_INCOMPLETE state, we enqueue any outbound frames to that neighbour
    to the neighbours arp_queue, which is default capped to a length of 3
    skbs.  If that queue exceeds its set length, it will drop an skb on
    the queue to enqueue the newly arrived skb.  This results in a drop
    for which we have no statistics incremented.  This patch adds an
    unresolved_discards stat to /proc/net/stat/ndisc_cache to track these
    lost frames.
