core: add stat to track unresolved discards in neighbor cache
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
in __neigh_event_send, if we have a neighbour entry which is in
NUD_INCOMPLETE state, we enqueue any outbound frames to that neighbour
to the neighbours arp_queue, which is default capped to a length of 3
skbs.  If that queue exceeds its set length, it will drop an skb on
the queue to enqueue the newly arrived skb.  This results in a drop
for which we have no statistics incremented.  This patch adds an
unresolved_discards stat to /proc/net/stat/ndisc_cache to track these
lost frames.
