Dear ixgbe developers:

I'm debugging a problem where some frames get dropped by the ixgbe
driver (version 2.0.44-k2), i.e. /proc/net/dev "drop" is not 0.

Reading the ixgbe-3.3.9/2.0.44.13/2.0.44.14 source, I see the line
(in ixgbe_main.c ixgbe_update_stats()): "net_stats->rx_dropped = 0;" 

So, does this mean that ixgbe always reports "0" for RX dropped?

Under what circumstances would /proc/net/dev's drop count for ixgbe
be incremented/changed from "0"?

Thank you,
Ching Tai
