Currently the mlx5e driver has multiple groups of stats, each group is used for different purposes and it may depend on hardware capabilities or not. The problem with the current implementation is that there is no clear API to create a new group of stats. This change define a new API to create a group of stats and simplifies the way of handling them by defining a new struct "mlx5e_stats_grp" which have the following three function pointers: - get_num_stats() - return the number of counters in the group. - fill_strings() - fill counters strings within the group. - fill_stats() - fill counters values within the group. The above function pointers are used within the ethtool callbaks while calling "ethtool -S" from userspace. This change also switch the SW group to use the new API.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
