Here is a Scalable statistics counter implementation which works on top
of the kmalloc_percpu dynamic allocator published by Dipankar.
This patch is against 2.5.27.
Description:
The following patch provides easy to use interfaces to replace
kernel counters where read accuracy is not that important and write is
frequent, for better cache characteristics. The foll patch also exports
the kernel counters to user apps via /proc.
Major benefits can be acheived when these statistics counters are used
inplace of atomic_t counters as you avoid expensive locked instructions.
This patch provides the following interfaces :
1. statctr_init(statctr_t *ctr, unsigned long initval,
struct proc_dir_entry *parent, const char *procname);
Allocates memory to the counter and initialises it;
2. statctr_cleanup(statctr_t *);
Cleans up allocated counter
3. statctr_inc(statctr_t *);
Increments the counter
4. statctr_dec(statctr_t *);
Decrements the counter
5. statctr_add
.
.

Rik, You were interested in using this. Does this implementation suit
your needs?
Comments most welcome
Thanks,
