From eeda3fd64f75bcbfaa70ce946513abaf3f23b8e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 21:40:23 -0800 Subject: netdev: introduce dev_get_stats() In order for the network device ops get_stats call to be immutable, the handling of the default internal network device stats block has to be changed. Add a new helper function which replaces the old use of internal_get_stats. Note: change return code to make it clear that the caller should not go changing the returned statistics.
