As explained in commit 316580b69d0a ("u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type")
we should use u64_stats_t and related accessors to avoid load/store tearing.

Add READ_ONCE() when reading rx_errs &amp; tx_drps.

To make later patches smaller create a helper for inheriting
the TSO limitations of a lower device. The TSO in the name
is not an accident, subsequent patches will replace GSO
with TSO in more names.

<title>net: add per-cpu storage and net-&gt;core_stats</title>

<id>625788b5844511cf4c30cffa7fa0bc3a69cebc82</id>
<content type='text'>
Before adding yet another possibly contended atomic_long_t,
it is time to add per-cpu storage for existing ones:
 dev-&gt;tx_dropped, dev-&gt;rx_dropped, and dev-&gt;rx_nohandler

Because many devices do not have to increment such counters,
allocate the per-cpu storage on demand, so that dev_get_stats()
does not have to spend considerable time folding zero counters.

Note that some drivers have abused these counters which
were supposed to be only used by core networking stack.

v4: should use per_cpu_ptr() in dev_get_stats() (Jakub)
v3: added a READ_ONCE() in netdev_core_stats_alloc() (Paolo)
v2: add a missing include (reported by kernel test robot &lt;lkp@intel.com&gt;)
    Change in netdev_core_stats_alloc() (Jakub)

dev-&gt;gso_max_segs is written under RTNL protection, or when the device is
not yet visible, but is read locklessly.

Add netif_set_gso_max_segs() helper.

Add the READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairs, and use netif_set_gso_max_segs()
where we can to better document what is going on.

The last argument of device_create() call should be a template string.
The tap_name variable should be the argument to the string, but not the
argument of the call itself.  We should add the template string and turn
tap_name into its argument.
