Greeting,
FYI, we noticed a 5.8% improvement of fio.write_iops due to commit:
commit: d96c52fe4907c68adc5e61a0bef7aec0933223d5 ("rcu: Add polled expedited grace-period primitives")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
in testcase: fio-basic
on test machine: 96 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6252 CPU @ 2.10GHz (Cascade Lake) with 512G memory
with following parameters:
disk: 2pmem
fs: xfs
mount_option: dax
runtime: 200s
nr_task: 50%
time_based: tb
rw: write
bs: 4k
ioengine: mmap
test_size: 200G
cpufreq_governor: performance
test-description: Fio is a tool that will spawn a number of threads or processes doing a particular type of I/O action as specified by the user.
test-url: https://github.com/axboe/fio
In addition to that, the commit also has significant impact on the following tests:
