If rx_dma_resources show the count from QPRDC, which is in section 8.2.3.23.75 
of the datasheet. The latest datasheet is available on intel.com by searching 
for "82599 datasheet".

Total number of receive packets dropped for the queue. Packets can be dropped 
for the following reasons:
1. Rx queue is disabled in the RXDCTL[n] register.
2. No free descriptors in the Rx queue while hardware is set to Drop En in the 
SRRCTL[n] register or in the PFQDE register.

The descriptor ring should be modifiable using ethtool -G. The exact number of 
descriptors and your particular tuning is dependent on your use case.

Subject: [E1000-devel] rx_no_dma_resources

Hello!
 >rx_no_dma_resources counter start to increment if packets are being dropped 
 >due to a lack of DMA resources.

Can You explain more exactly what is the reason of this counter or demonstrate 
an example? Is it a problem or no?Is it possible to minimize this counter?
