The blamed commit changed struct ocelot_stat_layout :: "u32 offset" to "u32 reg". However, "u32 reg" is not quite a register address, but an enum ocelot_reg, which in itself encodes an enum ocelot_target target in the upper bits, and an index into the ocelot->map[target][] array in the lower bits. So, whereas the previous code comparison between stats_layout[i].offset and last + 1 was correct (because those "offsets" at the time were 32-bit relative addresses), the new code, comparing layout[i].reg to last + 4 is not correct, because the "reg" here is an enum/index, not an actual register address. What we want to compare are indeed register addresses, but to do that, we need to actually go through the same motions as __ocelot_bulk_read_ix() itself. With this bug, all statistics counters are deemed by ocelot_prepare_stats_regions() as constituting their own region.

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.
