Traffic redirected by bpf_redirect_peer() (used by recent CNIs like Cilium)
is not accounted for in the RX stats of supported devices (that is, veth
and netkit), confusing user space metrics collectors such as cAdvisor [0],
as reported by Youlun.
Fix it by calling dev_sw_netstats_rx_add() in skb_do_redirect(), to update
RX traffic counters. Devices that support ndo_get_peer_dev _must_ use the
@tstats per-CPU counters (instead of @lstats, or @dstats).
To make this more fool-proof, error out when ndo_get_peer_dev is set but
@tstats are not selected.
[0] Specifically, the "container_network_receive_{byte,packet}s_total"
counters are affected.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
