I was thinking about this when merging the code and I thought that I'll save
some memory (~200 bytes) because stats are fine with 32-bit counters (instead of
64-bit ones) and I'm interested only in rough counts, not exact ones. Since the
code Dmitry added was quite simple, I thought the duplication won't be so bad.
But the code is probably more subtle than I thought so those 200 bytes aren't
worth it. So let's convert it to generic per-cpu counters. Dmitry, will you do it?
Hmm, I'm also wondering why I didn't see the warning Rafael was hitting in my
test runs... Ah, my kernel config has CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE! I guess using
CONFIG_PREEMPT is likely to give a better test coverage, right?
