Ben Hutchings 3cfde79c6c net: Get rid of rtnl_link_stats64 / net_device_stats union ... In commit be1f3c2c02 "net: Enable 64-bit net device statistics on 32-bit architectures" I redefined struct net_device_stats so that it could be used in a union with struct rtnl_link_stats64, avoiding the need for explicit copying or conversion between the two. However, this is unsafe because there is no locking required and no lock consistently held around calls to dev_get_stats() and use of the statistics structure it returns. In commit 28172739f0 "net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches" Eric Dumazet dealt with that problem by requiring callers of dev_get_stats() to provide storage for the result. This means that the net_device::stats64 field and the padding in struct net_device_stats are now redundant, so remove them. Update the comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64 to reflect its new usage. Change dev_txq_stats_fold() to use struct rtnl_link_stats64, since that is what all its callers are really using and it is no longer going to be compatible with struct net_device_stats. Eric Dumazet suggested the separate function for the structure conversion.
