ethtool statistics should be updated even when the interface is down
since it shows more than just netdev counters, which might change while
the logical link is down.
One useful use case, for example, is when running RoCE traffic over the
interface (while the logical link is down, but physical link is up) and
examining rx_prioX_bytes.

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.
