This function accidentally failed to update the data pointer, which caused the reported stats to be incorrect. Additionally, statistics which follow queue stats in the output would potentially read non-zeroed garbage data from the ethtool buffer. This occurred because the data double pointer was not dereferenced before incrementing the size. Additionally, make sure this issue is more visible by adding a WARN_ONCE to the i40e_get_ethtool_stats function. This warning will trigger whenever the data pointer is not at the expected address, similar to the check that we make in the i40e_get_stat_strings() function.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
