Per-port counter cache used by Qdiscs is updated periodically, unless the
port is down. The fact that the cache is not updated for down ports is no
problem for most counters, which are relative in nature. However, backlog
is absolute in nature, and if there is a non-zero value in the cache around
the time that the port goes down, that value just stays there. This value
then leaks to offloaded Qdiscs that report non-zero backlog even if
there (obviously) is no traffic.
The HW does not keep backlog of a downed port, so do likewise: as the port
goes down, wipe the backlog value from xstats.

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.
