The offloaded HW stats are designed to allow per-netdevice enablement and disablement. Add an attribute, IFLA_STATS_SET_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_L3_STATS, which should be carried by the RTM_SETSTATS message, and expresses a desire to toggle L3 offload xstats on or off. As part of the above, add an exported function rtnl_offload_xstats_notify() that drivers can use when they have installed or deinstalled the counters backing the HW stats. At this point, it is possible to enable, disable and query L3 offload xstats on netdevices. (However there is no driver actually implementing these.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
