Subject[PATCH RFC V4 2/2] net: Optimize snmp stat aggregation by walking all the percpu data at once
Date
Docker container creation linearly increased from around 1.6 sec to 7.5 sec
(at 1000 containers) and perf data showed 50% ovehead in snmp_fold_field.

reason: currently __snmp6_fill_stats64 calls snmp_fold_field that walks
through per cpu data of an item (iteratively for around 36 items).

idea: This patch tries to aggregate the statistics by going through
all the items of each cpu sequentially which is reducing cache
misses.

Docker creation got faster by more than 2x after the patch.

Result:
Before After
Docker creation time 6.836s 3.25s
cache miss 2.7% 1.41%

perf before:
50.73% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snmp_fold_field
9.07% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snooze_loop
3.49% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] veth_stats_one
2.85% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock

perf after:
10.57% docker docker [.] scanblock
8.37% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snooze_loop
6.91% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snmp_get_cpu_field
6.67% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] veth_stats_one

changes/ideas suggested:
Using buffer in stack (Eric), Usage of memset (David), Using memcpy in
place of unaligned_put (Joe).

Changes in V4:
- remove 'item' variable and use IPSTATS_MIB_MAX to avoid sparse
warning (Eric) also remove 'item' parameter (Joe)
- add missing memset of padding.

Changes in V3:
- use memset to initialize temp buffer in leaf function. (David)
- use memcpy to copy the buffer data to stat instead of unalign_pu (Joe)
- Move buffer definition to leaf function __snmp6_fill_stats64() (Eric)
-
Changes in V2:
- Allocate the stat calculation buffer in stack. (Eric)
