Statistic values should be set to ETHTOOL_STAT_NOT_SET even if the
device doesn't support statistics. Otherwise zeros will be returned as
if they are proper values:
host# ethtool -I -T lo
Time stamping parameters for lo:
Capabilities:
software-transmit
software-receive
software-system-clock
PTP Hardware Clock: none
Hardware Transmit Timestamp Modes: none
Hardware Receive Filter Modes: none
Statistics:
tx_pkts: 0
tx_lost: 0
tx_err: 0

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 reStructuredText 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.
