Subject: [PATCH] ibmveth: Fix endian issues with rx_no_buffer statistic
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 11:36:52 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140822113652.7e4bdc78@kryten> (raw)
Hidden away in the last 8 bytes of the buffer_list page is a solitary
statistic. It needs to be byte swapped or else ethtool -S will
produce numbers that terrify the user.
Since we do this in multiple places, create a helper function with a
comment explaining what is going on.
