unsigned long __percpu *field = (__force unsigned long __percpu *)
((__force u8 *)p + offset);
this_cpu_inc(*(int *)field);
This would compiler success. But I didn't test it.
This cold look complex.
Shoud I base v3? Export dev_core_stats_*_inc() intead of introduce netdev_core_stats_inc().
That would be easy.
