After the blamed commits below, some UDP tunnel use dstats for
accounting. On the xmit path, all the UDP-base tunnels ends up
using iptunnel_xmit_stats() for stats accounting, and the latter
assumes the relevant (tunnel) network device uses tstats.
The end result is some 'funny' stat report for the mentioned UDP
tunnel, e.g. when no packet is actually dropped and a bunch of
packets are transmitted:
gnv2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1450 qdisc noqueue \
state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether ee:7d:09:87:90:ea brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
RX: bytes packets errors dropped missed mcast
14916 23 0 15 0 0
TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collsns
0 1566 0 0 0 0
Address the issue ensuring the same binary layout for the overlapping
fields of dstats and tstats. While this solution is a bit hackish, is
smaller and with no performance pitfall compared to other alternatives
i.e. supporting both dstat and tstat in iptunnel_xmit_stats() or
reverting the blamed commit.
With time we should possibly move all the IP-based tunnel (and virtual
devices) to dstats.
