This feature gathers active and cumulative per fnic stats for io,
abort, terminate, reset, vlan discovery path and it also includes
various important stats for debugging issues. It also provided
debugfs and ioctl interface for user to retrieve these stats.
It also provides functionality to reset cumulative stats through

When you copy some code, you are supposed to read it. If nothing else,
there's a chance to spot and fix an obvious bug instead of sharing it...

Fnic Trace utility is a tracing functionality built directly into fnic driver
to trace events. The benefit that trace buffer brings to fnic driver is the
ability to see what it happening inside the fnic driver. It also provides the
capability to trace every IO event inside fnic driver to debug panics, hangs
and potentially IO corruption issues. This feature makes it easy to find
problems in fnic driver and it also helps in tracking down strange bugs in a
more manageable way. Trace buffer is shared across all fnic instances for
this implementation.
