Hi David,
resending the patch with memset. Please let me know if you want to
resend all the patches.

Subject: [PATCH RFC V2 2/2] net: Optimize snmp stat aggregation by walking
all the percpu data at once
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 90 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 3.357s
cache miss 2.7% 1.38%
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:
10.56% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snooze_loop
8.72% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snmp_get_cpu_field
7.59% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] veth_stats_one
3.65% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock

Change in V2:
- Allocate stat calculation buffer in stack (Eric)
- Use memset to zero temp buffer (David)
Thanks David and Eric for coments on V1 and as both of them pointed,
unfortunately we cannot get rid of buffer for calculation without
avoiding unaligned op.
