snmp stat aggregation by walking all the percpu data at once")

[RFC PATCH 1/3] net: Remove unnecessary memset in __snmp6_fill_stats64

[Jia He]

buff[] will be assigned later, so memset is not necessary.

[RFC PATCH 2/3] net: Replace for_each_possible_cpu with for_each_online_cpu

[Jia He]

In PowerPC server with large number cpus, the loop index in smt=1 could be 
reduced to 1/8 compared with smt=8.
Thus cache misses can be reduced.

[RFC PATCH 3/3] net: Remove the useless parameter of __snmp6_fill_statsdev

[Jia He]

In commit a3a773726c9f ("net: Optimize snmp stat aggregation by walking 
all the percpu data at once"), __snmp6_fill_stats64 had been optimized 
by removing parameter items, so do the same for __snmp6_fill_statsdev.

Without memset result of buff[i] += ... is undefined.

[hejianet]

Yes, sorry about it，I am too hasty

You can't do this, if cpus go down we still want to report the statistics
they collected while they were up.

So we must use the possible cpu list here.

This will break on machines with cpu hotplug.

This is completely buggy, since we performs additions, not assignments :



buff[i] += snmp_get_cpu_field64(mib, c, i, syncpoff);
