Hi All,

we already did some changes in network stack in head/, that made ability
for merging changes into stable branches much harder.

What you think about adding the following macro to head/:

--- if_var.h    (revision 274736)
+++ if_var.h    (working copy)
@@ -111,6 +111,10 @@ typedef enum {
        IFCOUNTERS /* Array size. */
 } ift_counter;

+#define        IFSTAT_ADD(ifp, name, value)    \
+    if_inc_counter((ifp), IFCOUNTER_ ## name, (value))
+#define        IFSTAT_INC(ifp, name)   IFSTAT_ADD(ifp, name, 1)
+
 typedef struct ifnet * if_t;

 typedef        void (*if_start_fn_t)(if_t);


And then make a direct commit to stable/* branches like this:

--- if_var.h    (revision 274750)
+++ if_var.h    (working copy)
@@ -104,6 +104,23 @@ VNET_DECLARE(struct pfil_head, link_pfil_hook);    /*

+#define        IFSTAT_OQDROPS_ADD(ifp, inc)    /* NOP */
+#define        IFSTAT_NOPROTO_ADD(ifp, inc)    (ifp)->if_noproto += (inc)
+
 /*
  * Structure defining a queue for a network interface.
  */

This can make merging a little bit easier, at least for generic code in
the network stack.
