This series reduces kernel datapath lock contention. I have included
the NUMA stats patches, as the rest do not apply cleanly without them.
I have added netperf TCP_CRR results (connections/second) as the first
column in the list below. These are in a specific 2-socket server,
YMMV.
I have included the current master as a baseline. The numbers are for
the best run after a warmup, representing a case when revalidation is
not necessary, but stats are still pushed continuously.
Finally, I have manually set the max_idle to 750ms, so that it would
not skew the results (too high max_idle will cause handlers to not be
able to push all flows, which leads to more upcalls, and more TCP
latency -> lower TCP_CRR score.)
