From: Florian Westphal fw@strlen.de Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 14:44:19 +0100 Subject: netfilter: x_tables: pack percpu counter allocations

From: Florian Westphal fw@strlen.de

commit ae0ac0ed6fcf5af3be0f63eb935f483f44a402d2 upstream.

instead of allocating each xt_counter individually, allocate 4k chunks and then use these for counter allocation requests.

This should speed up rule evaluation by increasing data locality, also speeds up ruleset loading because we reduce calls to the percpu allocator.

As Eric points out we can't use PAGE_SIZE, page_allocator would fail on arches with 64k page size.
