These statistics are concurrently updated from several cpus without
any locking. That looks like a bug.

In addition they can be read concurrently from userspace without any
locking... Since you put several values together in the output I assume
this is supposed to be some sort of snapshot, which it currently isn't.

You're going to call kfree with some random value if the adapter doesn't
support the measurement data feature.
