Any reason you chose not to make the stats per-cpu? The locking
numbers don't have to be exact, so you can easily get away with
it and suffer from much less overhead that resorting to atomics.
Obviously assuming that reading/collecting the stats is done
infrequently, such as between workloads or at bootup as you did.

Thanks,
Davidlohr
