Greeting, FYI, we noticed a 149% regression of ftq.noise.50% due to commit: commit: 4e5160766fcc9f41bbd38bac11f92dce993644aa ("sched/fair: Propagate asynchrous detach") https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master in testcase: ftq on test machine: 8 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 8G memory with following parameters: nr_task: 100% samples: 6000ss test: cache freq: 20 cpufreq_governor: powersave test-description: The FTQ benchmarks measure hardware and software interference or 'noise' on a node from the applications perspective. test-url: https://github.com/rminnich/ftq In addition to that, the commit also has significant impact on the following tests: +------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | testcase: change | unixbench: unixbench.score 2.7% improvement | | test machine | 4 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz with 4G memory | | test parameters | cpufreq_governor=performance | | | nr_task=100% | | | runtime=300s | | | test=execl | +------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Details are as below: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> To reproduce: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/lkp-tests.git cd lkp-tests bin/lkp install job.yaml # job file is attached in this email bin/lkp run job.yaml testcase/path_params/tbox_group/run: ftq/100%-6000ss-cache-20-powersave/lkp-hsw-d01 09a43ace1f986b00 4e5160766fcc9f41bbd38bac11 ---------------- -------------------------- %stddev change %stddev \ | \ 305 ± 30% 260% 1100 ± 14% ftq.noise.75% 1386 ± 19% 149% 3457 ± 7% ftq.noise.50% 2148 ± 11% 98% 4257 ± 4% ftq.noise.25% 3963589 3898578 ftq.time.involuntary_context_switches ftq.noise.50_ 4000 ++------------O------------------------------------------------------+ | O O | 3500 ++ O O O O O O O | O O O O O O O O O O O O O O | O O O O O | 3000 ++ O | | O | 2500 ++ | | | 2000 ++ | | * .* | | + : * * * + | 1500 ++ + : + + + + : + .* | |.* *. + * *.. : * + | 1000 *+-------*-----------*----------*------------------------------------+ [*] bisect-good sample [O] bisect-bad sample Disclaimer: Results have been estimated based on internal Intel analysis and are provided for informational purposes only.
