Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if this were done by default. 1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device". 2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one" 3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set. 4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if ->get_stats is set. This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code. Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

/* ** HP VISUALIZE Workstation PCI Bus Defect ** ** "HP has discovered a potential system defect that can affect ** the behavior of five models of HP VISUALIZE workstations when ** equipped with third-party or customer-installed PCI I/O expansion ** cards. The defect is limited to the HP C180, C160, C160L, B160L, ** and B132L VISUALIZE workstations, and will only be encountered ** when data is transmitted through PCI I/O expansion cards on the ** PCI bus. HP-supplied graphics cards that utilize the PCI bus are ** not affected." ** ** REVISIT: "go/pci_defect" link below is stale. ** HP Internal can use <http://hpfcdma.fc.hp.com:80/Dino/> ** ** Product First Good Serial Number ** C200/C240 (US) US67350000 **B132L+/B180 (US) US67390000 ** C200 (Europe) 3713G01000 ** B180L (Europe) 3720G01000 ** ** Note that many boards were fixed/replaced under a free replacement ** program.
