Hello,
this commit fixes the
"[linus:master] [file] 0ede61d858: will-it-scale.per_thread_ops -2.9% regression"
we reported in
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/[email protected]/
in our tests, besides the improvment in will-it-scale tests, we also noticed
the improvement in lmbench3 latency tests. so just report as below FYI.
kernel test robot noticed a -5.0% improvement of lmbench3.Select.100tcp.latency.us on:
commit: 253ca8678d30bcf94410b54476fc1e0f1627a137 ("Improve __fget_files_rcu() code generation (and thus __fget_light())")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master
testcase: lmbench3
test machine: 48 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz (Ivy Bridge-EP) with 112G memory
parameters:
test_memory_size: 50%
nr_threads: 50%
mode: development
test: SELECT
cpufreq_governor: performance
In addition to that, the commit also has significant impact on the following tests:
+------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| testcase: change | will-it-scale: will-it-scale.per_process_ops 10.3% improvement |
| test machine | 224 threads 4 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8380H CPU @ 2.90GHz (Cooper Lake) with 192G memory |
| test parameters | cpufreq_governor=performance |
| | mode=process |
| | nr_task=100% |
| | test=poll2 |
