The following patches change struct proto.memory_allocated, proto.sockets_allocated to use per-cpu counters. This patchset also switches the proto.inuse percpu varible to use alloc_percpu, instead of NR_CPUS * cacheline size padding.
We saw 5 % improvement in apache bench requests per second with this patchset, on a multi nic 8 way 3.3 GHZ IBM x460 Xeon server. Patches follow.
