This patchset records per-interface packet stats in the MPLS forwarding path and exports them using a nest of attributes root at a new IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC attribute as part of RTM_GETSTATS messages:
[IFLA_STATS_AF_SPEC] -> [AF_MPLS] -> [MPLS_STATS_LINK] -> struct mpls_link_stats The first patch adds the rtnl infrastructure for this, including a new callbacks to per-AF ops of fill_stats_af and get_stats_af_size. The second patch records MPLS stats and makes use of the infrastructure to export them. The rtnl infrastructure could also be used to export IPv6 stats in the future.
