net: drop_monitor: make last_rx timestamp private
It was recently pointed out to me that the last_rx field of the net_device structure wasn't updated regularly. In fact only the bonding driver really uses it currently. Since the drop_monitor code relies on the last_rx field to detect drops on recevie in hardware, We need to find a more reliable way to rate limit our drop checks (so that we don't check for drops on every frame recevied, which would be inefficient. This patch makes a last_rx timestamp that is private to the drop monitor code and is updated for every device that we track. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
