An optional counter is a driver-specific counter that may be dynamically enabled/disabled. This enhancement allows drivers to expose counters which are, for example, mutually exclusive and cannot be enabled at the same time, counters that might degrades performance, optional debug counters, etc. Optional counters are marked with IB_STAT_FLAG_OPTIONAL flag. They are not exported in sysfs, and must be at the end of all stats, otherwise the attr->show() in sysfs would get wrong indexes for hwcounters that are behind optional counters.

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.
