Traffic redirected by bpf_redirect_peer() (used by recent CNIs like Cilium) is not accounted for in the RX stats of supported devices (that is, veth and netkit), confusing user space metrics collectors such as cAdvisor [0], as reported by Youlun. Fix it by calling dev_sw_netstats_rx_add() in skb_do_redirect(), to update RX traffic counters. Devices that support ndo_get_peer_dev _must_ use the @tstats per-CPU counters (instead of @lstats, or @dstats). To make this more fool-proof, error out when ndo_get_peer_dev is set but @tstats are not selected. [0] Specifically, the "container_network_receive_{byte,packet}s_total" counters are affected.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
