[ Upstream commit 31b6298fd8e29effe9ed6b77351ac5969be56ce0 ]
The hardware statistics counters are not cleared during resets so the
drivers first access is to initialize the baseline and then subsequent
reads are for reporting the counters. The statistics counters are read
during the watchdog subtask when the interface is up. If the baseline
is not initialized before the interface is up, then there can be a brief
window in which some traffic can be transmitted/received before the
initial baseline reading takes place.
Directly initialize ethtool statistics in driver open so the baseline will
be initialized when the interface is up, and any dropped packets
incremented before the interface is up won't be reported.
Fixes: 28dc1b86f8ea9 ("ice: ignore dropped packets during init")

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.
