We can in some situations drop packets in netif_rx() loopback driver does not report these (unlikely) drops to its stats, and incorrectly change packets/bytes counts. After this patch applied, "ifconfig lo" can reports these drops as in : # ifconfig lo lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:692562900 errors:3228 dropped:3228 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:692562900 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2865674174 (2.6 GiB) TX bytes:2865674174 (2.6 GiB) I initialy chose to reflect those errors only in tx_dropped/tx_errors, but David convinced me that it was really RX errors, as loopback_xmit() really starts a RX process. (calling eth_type_trans() for example, that itself pulls the ethernet header) These errors are accounted in rx_dropped/rx_errors.
