[net-next,0/4] net: add functionality to net core byte/packet counters and use it in r8169

Message

This series adds missing functionality to the net core handling of
byte/packet counters and statistics. The extensions are used then
to remove private rx/tx byte/packet counters in r8169 driver.

Heiner Kallweit (4):
  net: core: add dev_sw_netstats_tx_add
  net: core: add devm_netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats
  r8169: use struct pcpu_sw_netstats for rx/tx packet/byte counters
  r8169: remove no longer needed private rx/tx packet/byte counters

As much as I was hoping to apply this, it looks like it's still not
through my build testing :( 

So let's play it safe and come back to it in a week and a half.
