Hi, Now wifi drivers reports per-station info using struct station_info; and currently for the data counters it has: u32 rx_bytes; u32 tx_bytes; while for device-wide statistics one can use ndo_get_stats64() to fill 64-bit counters in the struct rtnl_link_stats64, per-station statistics are 32-bit. This becomes problematic with gigabit speeds now observed for .11ac and .11ad - counters overflown every few seconds. I'd like to extend rx and tx byte counters to 64-bit. What is better - expand existing fields in struct station_info as: u64 rx_bytes; u64 tx_bytes; or add ne ones like: u64 rx_bytes64; u64 tx_bytes64; Then, I'll add NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_BYTES64, NL80211_STA_INFO_TX_BYTES64, to the enum nl80211_sta_info Before doing patch, I'd like to hear comments. Any consideration why is this not to be done or done differently?
