This kind of dance could be avoided if your stats were just an array,
or a union of the current data structure and an array.

Do you really need the in-kernel copy? Why not directly organise the
data structures in a way that would allow a bulk copy using
copy_to_user()?

Another thing is the atomicity of what you are reporting. Don't you
care about the consistency of the counters?
