It's a frequent pattern to use netdev->stats for the less frequently accessed counters and per-cpu counters for the frequently accessed counters (rx/tx bytes/packets). Add a default ndo_get_stats64() implementation for this use case. Subsequently switch more drivers to use this pattern.
v2: - add patches for replacing ip_tunnel_get_stats64 Requested additional migrations will come in a separate series. v3: - add atomic_long_t member rx_frame_errors in patch 3 for making counter updates atomic Heiner Kallweit (10): net: core: add dev_get_tstats64 as a ndo_get_stats64 implementation net: dsa: use net core stats64 handling tun: switch to net core provided statistics counters ip6_tunnel: use ip_tunnel_get_stats64 as ndo_get_stats64 callback net: switch to dev_get_tstats64 gtp: switch to dev_get_tstats64 wireguard: switch to dev_get_tstats64 vti: switch to dev_get_tstats64 ipv4/ipv6: switch to dev_get_tstats64 net: remove ip_tunnel_get_stats64 drivers/net/bareudp.c | 2 +- drivers/net/geneve.c | 2 +- drivers/net/gtp.c | 2 +- drivers/net/tun.c | 121 +++++++++------------------------ drivers/net/vxlan.c | 4 +- drivers/net/wireguard/device.c | 2 +- include/linux/netdevice.h | 1 + include/net/ip_tunnels.h | 2 - net/core/dev.c | 15 ++++ net/dsa/dsa.c | 7 +- net/dsa/dsa_priv.h | 2 - net/dsa/slave.c | 29 ++------ net/ipv4/ip_gre.c | 6 +- net/ipv4/ip_tunnel_core.c | 9 --- net/ipv4/ip_vti.c | 2 +- net/ipv4/ipip.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c | 6 +- net/ipv6/ip6_tunnel.c | 32 +-------- net/ipv6/ip6_vti.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/sit.c | 2 +- 20 files changed, 75 insertions(+), 175 deletions(-) -- 2.29.2
