This patch adds support for extended statistics (xstats) call to the
bonding. The first user would be the 3ad code which counts the following
events:
- LACPDU Rx/Tx
- LACPDU unknown type Rx
- LACPDU illegal Rx
- Marker Rx/Tx
- Marker response Rx/Tx
- Marker unknown type Rx
All of these are exported via netlink as separate attributes to be
easily extensible as we plan to add more in the future.
Similar to how the bridge and other xstats exports, the structure
inside is:
[ IFLA_STATS_LINK_XSTATS ]
-> [ LINK_XSTATS_TYPE_BOND ]
-> [ BOND_XSTATS_3AD ]
-> [ 3ad stats attributes ]
With this structure it's easy to add more stat types later.

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 Restructured Text 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.
