Never mind, we already have that in local_t and as Alexey correctly
points out, USER is still going to be the expensive variant with the

I didn't hear any objections so here is the patch again.

[SNMP]: Fix SNMP counters with PREEMPT

The SNMP macros use raw_smp_processor_id() in process context
which is illegal because the process may be preempted and then
migrated to another CPU.

This patch makes it use get_cpu/put_cpu to disable preemption.

Cheers,
 #define SNMP_INC_STATS_USER(mib, field) \
-	(per_cpu_ptr(mib[1], raw_smp_processor_id())->mibs[field]++)
+	do { \
+		per_cpu_ptr(mib[1], get_cpu())->mibs[field]++; \
+		put_cpu(); \
+	} while (0)
 #define SNMP_INC_STATS(mib, field) 	\
 	(per_cpu_ptr(mib[!in_softirq()], raw_smp_processor_id())->mibs[field]++)


How come you change SNMP_INC_STATS_USER() but not SNMP_INC_STATS() ?
