Subject: [reinette:resctrl/controls_rfc_v2.4] [arm,x86,fs/resctrl] 54b36bf955: stress-ng.sigrt.ops_per_sec 8.0% improvement
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 11:04:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <202608261025.2521cb61-lkp@intel.com> (raw)
Hello,
kernel test robot noticed a 8.0% improvement of stress-ng.sigrt.ops_per_sec on:
commit: 54b36bf9552c154f009f53ea023557239a1a3a03 ("arm,x86,fs/resctrl: Transition resource control to a list") https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/reinette/linux.git resctrl/controls_rfc_v2.4
testcase: stress-ng
config: x86_64-rhel-9.4
compiler: gcc-14
test machine: 224 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8480CTDX (Sapphire Rapids) with 256G memory
parameters:
nr_threads: 100%
testtime: 60s
test: sigrt
cpufreq_governor: performance
In addition to that, the commit also has significant impact on the following tests:
