For some reason I have not received Florian response.

Florian, when the percpu counters are in nominal mode,
the updates are only in percpu memory, so the cache line containing struct percpu_ref in the
main object is not dirtied.

(This field/object can be placed in a read-mostly location of the structure if needed)

I would definitely try to use this.
