Subject: [linus:master] [memcg] 7e44d00a13: will-it-scale.per_thread_ops 2.6% regression
Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2025 14:15:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <202512101408.af3876df-lkp@intel.com> (raw)
Hello,
kernel test robot noticed a 2.6% regression of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops on:
commit: 7e44d00a13ca5691caf4f7c46541ee60bf75b208 ("memcg: use mod_node_page_state to update stats")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
[still regression on linux-next/master 6987d58a9cbc5bd57c983baa514474a86c945d56]
testcase: will-it-scale
config: x86_64-rhel-9.4
compiler: gcc-14
test machine: 64 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6346 CPU @ 3.10GHz (Ice Lake) with 256G memory
parameters:
nr_task: 100%
mode: thread
test: page_fault2
cpufreq_governor: performance

the same patch/commit), kindly add following tags
