Merge branch 'alx_stats'
Sabrina Dubroca says: ==================== alx: add statistics Currently, the alx driver doesn't support statistics [1,2]. The original alx driver [3] that Johannes Berg modified provided statistics. This patch is an adaptation of the statistics code from the original driver to the alx driver included in the kernel. v4: - modified the assignements of hw stats to netstats (Ben Hutchings) - added comments to describe the stats fields (copied from atlx) v3: - renamed __alx_update_hw_stats to alx_update_hw_stats (Stephen Hemminger) v2: - use u64 instead of unsigned long (Ben Hutchings) - implement ndo_get_stats64 instead of ndo_get_stats (Ben Hutchings) - use EINVAL instead of ENOTSUPP (Ben Hutchings) - add BUILD_BUG_ON to check the size of the stats (Johannes Berg, Ben Hutchings) - add a comment regarding persistence of the stats (Stephen Hemminger) - align assignments in __alx_update_hw_stats [1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63401 [2] http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg245544.html [3] https://github.com/mcgrof/alx ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
