Hi William,

Thanks for your comments. 
Agree with you, those counters such as collisions and multicast should be kept as current implementation, 
since they are don't provided by vport stats. 

I also suggest to remove rx/tx bytes and packets, rx/tx error and drops as well, only count physical or hardware stats in,
because it is confusing when checking with netdev_stats_from_ovs_vport_stats, if netdev_stats_from_ovs_vport_stats 
has provided them, why they are copied again.

What do you think about change as below?

But the comments above says the reason using the counter below.

How about we just remove the below 4 stats?

Hi William,

> -         * enabled. */

Actually I think it should be moved to netdev_stats_from_ovs_vport_stats :), that explains what netdev_stats_from_ovs_vport_stats is doing.
In fact, I think better solution is copying all physical abnormal counters in netdev_stats_from_ovs_vport_stats , 
and remove this copy from netdev_linux_get_stats. 
but netdev_stats_from_ovs_vport_stats is in kernel module that may not be upgraded in some application scenarios. 
So I moved to remove unnecessary copies, such as RX/TX bytes, packets, drops.

Lidong

oh, I see your point. Then this looks good to me.
Add Pravin to see if he has some comments.

Thanks for reporting the issue, looking at
  get_stats_via_vport
    get_stats_via_vport__
      netdev_stats_from_ovs_vport_stats
         // only set the ovs_vport_stats, which has 8 fields above

But with your patch it will remove all the reset of stats below

How about we just over write the error and drop counts?
