One comment : per cpu stats are really good to avoid cache misses, but I
see tot_stats is included in struct netns_ipvs right after "conn_count",
possibly sharing a hot cache line ?

        conn_count and tcp_app_lock, udp_app_lock, sctp_app_lock
are used when packet creates new connection, probably on the
same time depending on the protocol in packet. May be conn_count
better to be before tcp_apps, far away from some sysctl vars
that are mostly read?

        For tot_stats: cpustats ptr is always read,
other fields in tot_stats are updated from the 2-second
timer. May be it is better just to move tot_stats before
est_list, it is written at the same time?

Regards
