Subject: hackbench regression with kernel 2.6.32-rc1
Date: Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:19:03 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1255079943.25078.23.camel@ymzhang> (raw)

Comparing with 2.6.31's results, hackbench has some regression on a couple of
machines woth kernel 2.6.32-rc1.
I run it with commandline:
./hackbench 100 process 2000

1) On 4*4 core tigerton: 70%;
2) On 2*4 core stoakley: 7%.

I located below 2 patches.

    sched: Stop buddies from hogging the system


1) On 4*4 core tigerton: if I revert patch 29cd8b, the regression becomes
less than 55%; If I revert the 2 patches, all regression disappears.
2) On 2*4 core stakley: If I revert the 2 patches, comparing with 2.6.31,
I get about 8% improvement instead of regression.

Sorry for reporting the regression later as there is a long national holiday.
