Increment the statistics over how many Tx packets have been sent at the time of sending instead of at the time of completion. This as a completion event means that the buffer has been sent AND returned to user space. The packet always gets sent shortly after sendto() is called. The kernel might, for performance reasons, decide to not return every single buffer to user space immediately after sending, for example, only after a batch of packets have been transmitted. Incrementing the number of packets sent at completion, will in that case be confusing as if you send a single packet, the counter might show zero for a while even though the packet has been transmitted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
