sizeof(struct statistic_coll) = 16+64+8+8+4+8+8 = 116
sizeof(struct statistic) = 4+4+8+8+8+8+8+4+8+4+4 = 68
+ 8*NR_CPUS
+ kmalloc_size(obj)*nr_cpu_ids
4 objs with size 40, gives 4*64 = 256 * nr_cpu_ids
1 obj with size 32 + more
for 2048 total classes this gives:
2048 * (116+68) = 376832
for each active class this adds per cpu:
8+256+32+some = 296+
we have around 1400 locks in the kernel, this would give 414400 per cpu.
vs the old code:
2048*(4*8) = 65536
+
2048*(4*4*8 + 4*8) = 327680 per cpu
worst case
I'm not convinced 300 lines less code is worth that extra bloat.
