    [NET]: Fix fddi_statistics for 64-bit · 6ac4b57f
    Maciej W. Rozycki authored
     There is a problem with "struct fddi_statistics" for 64-bit systems.
    The starting members of the struct are expected to correspond to the
    respective members of "struct net_device_stats" (drivers for FDDI
    devices return "struct fddi_statistics" in the response to the
    get_stats() call of "struct net_device").  Unfortunately, due to using
    different types (u32 vs ulong) they do not.  "struct net_device_stats"
    is a public interface and as a result, bogus results are retrieved,
    e.g. for /proc/net/dev.
    
     Here is my proposal to address the problem.  I think there is no
    point in duplicating the layout of "struct net_device_stats" in
    "struct fddi_statistics" as the former can simply be included as a
    member avoiding this problem and actually any possible discrepancy in
    the future.  This also preserves the layout of the structure for
    32-bit systems.
