    net: sched: restrict use of qstats qlen · 64015853

    This removes the use of qstats->qlen variable from the classifiers
    and makes it an explicit argument to gnet_stats_copy_queue().
    
    The qlen represents the qdisc queue length and is packed into
    the qstats at the last moment before passnig to user space. By
    handling it explicitely we avoid, in the percpu stats case, having
    to figure out which per_cpu variable to put it in.
    
    It would probably be best to remove it from qstats completely
    but qstats is a user space ABI and can't be broken. A future
    patch could make an internal only qstats structure that would
    avoid having to allocate an additional u32 variable on the
    Qdisc struct. This would make the qstats struct 128bits instead
    of 128+32.
