The rx_drops_no_frags HW counter for RSS rings is 16bits in HW and can
wraparound often. Maintain a 32-bit accumulator in the driver to prevent
frequent wraparound.

Also, incorporated Eric's feedback to use ACCESS_ONCE() for the accumulator
write.

I still feel something is wrong here :

previous code was not doing a sum_of_all_queues.

It only gave the final erx->rx_drops_no_fragments[rxo->q.id], not taking
into account previous rx_stats(rxo)->rx_drops_no_frags value.

Your changelog is about wrap around, while the bug might have be
different (No real sum)

Now you say : previous value is meaningfull, and we add to it 16bits
values.

Arent multiple calls to be_parse_stats() will have wrong final
rx_drops_no_frags value ?

Or are the rx_drops_no_fragments[rxo->q.id] cleared when read ?

I am afraid that if HW maintains 16bit values, then the only way is to
also have a 16bit accumulator. You cannot detect wraparounds without
also keeping a copy of previous 16bit samples.

u16 accum = 0;
or_all_rx_queues(adapter, rxo, i) {
	accum += erx->rx_drops_no_fragments[rxo->q.id];
}
rx_stats(rxo)->rx_drops_no_frags = accum;

Yes, the new code still *does not* do a sum of all queues. The code just 
parses per-queue stats. For each queue, the 16 bit
HW stats value is taken and stored in a 32-bit *per-queue* variable.
The comment that "driver accumulates a 32-bit val" may be misleading. The
code here is not doing a sum of the per-queue stat.

+       for_all_rx_queues(adapter, rxo, i) {
+               /* below erx HW counter can actually wrap around after
+                * 65535. Driver accumulates a 32-bit value

The following logic should take care of that:
	u32 newacc = hi(*acc) + val;
Only the upper 16 bits of the accumulator are retained and the new-val
of the 16-bit stat is used for the lower 16 bits. So, even if I call this
routine 10 times with the same value for val, the accumulator value will not change.

Say: accumulator is 0x00010001
Say: new 16-bit hw counter value is now 2 (it was previously 1 and had wraped-aroud before that)
accumulate(acc, 2) ==> newacc = 0x00010000 + 2 = 0x00010002
any number of calls to accumulate(acc, 2) will still produce acc = 0x00010002

I don't agree:
Say: accumulator is 0x0000FFFF
Say: new 16-bit hw counter value is now 0 (after a wrap-aroud)
accumulate(acc, 0) ==> newacc = 0x00000000 + 0 = 0x00000000
After the wraparound check newacc = 0x00010000

Ah ok, I now see the code intent, and everything seems fine now, thanks
for explaining.
