From 1748376b6626acf59c24e9592ac67b3fe2a0e026 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:16:35 -0800 Subject: net: Use a percpu_counter for sockets_allocated Instead of using one atomic_t per protocol, use a percpu_counter for "sockets_allocated", to reduce cache line contention on heavy duty network servers. Note : We revert commit (248969ae31e1b3276fc4399d67ce29a5d81e6fd9 net: af_unix can make unix_nr_socks visbile in /proc), since it is not anymore used after sock_prot_inuse_add() addition Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
