Hmm, this is wrong.

Each time sl_get_stats() is called, you are adding stuff to dev->stats

Quite frankly I dont think its a kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org patch,
its pretty normal netdev stuff.

Please take a look at prior patch posted yesterday.

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=128213719605250&w=2

Because either you should build your patch on top of it, or ask David to
revert mine before ;)

I advise using a ndo_get_stats64() so that you can perform the adds on a
private destination buffer.

Thanks
