From: Jason Wang <redacted> We already have counters for sent packets and sent bytes. Use them to reduce the number of u64_stats_update_begin/end(). Take care not to bother with stats update when called speculatively. Based on a patch by Jason Wang. Cc: Rusty Russell <redacted> Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <redacted> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
