Not sure I understand... I thought dummy was dropping all frames
anyway ?

static netdev_tx_t dummy_xmit(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev)
{
        struct pcpu_dstats *dstats = this_cpu_ptr(dev->dstats);

        u64_stats_update_begin(&dstats->syncp);
        dstats->tx_packets++;
        dstats->tx_bytes += skb->len;
        u64_stats_update_end(&dstats->syncp);

        dev_kfree_skb(skb);
        return NETDEV_TX_OK;
}


Maybe you could describe the setup ?
