Agree with Huisong, this is a DPDK API that can return error, so
checking return value is reasonable.
@Kaiwen, back to Stephen's point, the patch title mentions from iavf, is
there anything special with iavf driver that fails to get stats?
Main concern is, if this patch to hide a defect in iavf, or is driver
only mentioned because problem observed with iavf driver?
If this is not iavf specific issue, we can continue with patch,
in that case can you please make a new version with following changes:
1- Add error check for both usage of 'rte_eth_stats_get()' in bonding
2- Make label lowercase
3- Print a log message on failure
Thanks,
