Thanks, the numbers look a bit weird in that the first column should have a bigger number of events than that second column since it is a special case subset. Looking at the lock_stat_note() code should show that to be the case. Did you make a change to the output ? I can't tell which are "steal", actively running or overall contention stats against the lock from your output.
