Re: [PATCH net-next v9 2/3] net: airoha: fix ETS QoS stats counter underflow and cross-channel corruption

> airoha_qdma_get_tx_ets_stats() has two bugs:
> - The hardware counters read via airoha_qdma_rr() are 32-bit values
>   but are stored in u64 locals and subtracted from u64 baselines. When

commenting on sashiko's report:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260721-airoha-ethtool-priv_flags-v9-0-9c15d8b71a56%40kernel.org
- This is a pre-existing issue, but does calling _bstats_update() here from
  the netlink dump path (process context) without holding qdisc_lock() or
  disabling bottom-halves risk a seqcount deadlock?
  On 32-bit platforms, _bstats_update() uses a seqcount_t write lock via
  u64_stats_update_begin(). If this path is preempted by a softirq on the same
  CPU that updates the same shared opt->stats.bstats (e.g., during a software
  packet dequeue), will the softirq spin forever attempting to acquire the
  same seqcount lock?
  - As pointed out by sashiko, this issue has not been introduced by this
    patch. Moreover, since airoha_eth is available just on 64bit system, I
    guess this is not a real issue.

Lorenzo
