====================
net: Convert some UDP tunnel drivers to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS.
VXLAN, Geneve and Bareudp use various device counters for managing
RX and TX statistics:
* VXLAN uses the device core_stats for RX and TX drops, tstats for
regular RX/TX counters and DEV_STATS_INC() for various types of
RX/TX errors.
* Geneve uses tstats for regular RX/TX counters and DEV_STATS_INC()
for everything else, include RX/TX drops.
* Bareudp, was recently converted to follow VXLAN behaviour, that is,
device core_stats for RX and TX drops, tstats for regular RX/TX
counters and DEV_STATS_INC() for other counter types.
Let's consolidate statistics management around the dstats counters
instead. This avoids using core_stats in VXLAN and Bareudp, as
core_stats is supposed to be used by core networking code only (and not
in drivers). This also allows Geneve to avoid using atomic increments
when updating RX and TX drop counters, as dstats is per-cpu. Finally,
this also simplifies the code as all three modules now handle stats in
the same way and with only two different sets of counters (the per-cpu
dstats and the atomic DEV_STATS_INC()).
Patch 1 creates dstats helper functions that can be used outside of VRF
(until then, dstats was VRF-specific).
Then patches 2 to 4, convert VXLAN, Geneve and Bareudp, one by one.

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 reStructuredText 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.
