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. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
