The apc->eth_stats.rx_cqes is one per NIC (vport), and it's on the
frequent and parallel code path of all queues. So, r/w into this
single shared variable by many threads on different CPUs creates a
lot caching and memory overhead, hence perf regression. And, it's
not accurate due to the high volume concurrent r/w.
For example, a workload is iperf with 128 threads, and with RPS
enabled. We saw perf regression of 25% with the previous patch
adding the counters. And this patch eliminates the regression.
Since the error path of mana_poll_rx_cq() already has warnings, so
keeping the counter and convert it to a per-queue variable is not
necessary. So, just remove this counter from this high frequency
code path.
Also, remove the tx_cqes counter for the same reason. We have
warnings & other counters for errors on that path, and don't need
to count every normal cqe processing.
