To compare the top 30 functions between 2.6.28 and 2.6.29-rc1: 1.4257 qla24xx_start_scsi 1.0691 qla24xx_intr_handler 0.8784 kmem_cache_alloc 0.7701 copy_user_generic_string 0.6876 qla24xx_intr_handler 0.7339 qla24xx_wrt_req_reg 0.5834 copy_user_generic_string 0.6458 kmem_cache_alloc 0.4945 scsi_request_fn 0.5794 qla24xx_start_scsi 0.4846 __blockdev_direct_IO 0.5505 unmap_vmas 0.4187 try_to_wake_up 0.4869 __blockdev_direct_IO 0.3518 aio_complete 0.4493 try_to_wake_up 0.3513 __end_that_request_first 0.4291 scsi_request_fn 0.3483 __switch_to 0.4118 clear_page_c 0.3271 memset_c 0.4002 __switch_to 0.2976 qla2x00_process_completed_re 0.3381 ring_buffer_consume 0.2905 __list_add 0.3366 rb_get_reader_page 0.2901 generic_make_request 0.3222 aio_complete 0.2755 lock_timer_base 0.3135 memset_c 0.2741 blk_queue_end_tag 0.2875 __list_add 0.2593 kmem_cache_free 0.2673 task_rq_lock 0.2445 disk_map_sector_rcu 0.2658 __end_that_request_first 0.2370 pick_next_highest_task_rt 0.2615 qla2x00_process_completed_re 0.2323 scsi_device_unbusy 0.2615 lock_timer_base 0.2321 task_rq_lock 0.2456 disk_map_sector_rcu 0.2316 scsi_dispatch_cmd 0.2427 tcp_sendmsg 0.2239 kref_get 0.2413 e1000_xmit_frame 0.2237 dio_bio_complete 0.2398 kmem_cache_free 0.2194 push_rt_task 0.2384 pick_next_highest_task_rt 0.2145 __aio_get_req 0.2225 blk_queue_end_tag 0.2143 kfree 0.2211 sd_prep_fn 0.2138 __mod_timer 0.2167 qla24xx_queuecommand 0.2131 e1000_irq_enable 0.2109 scsi_device_unbusy 0.2091 scsi_softirq_done 0.2095 kref_get It looks like a number of functions in the qla2x00 driver were split up, so it's probably best to ignore all the changes in qla* functions. unmap_vmas is a new hot function. It's been around since before git history started, and hasn't changed substantially between 2.6.28 and 2.6.29-rc1, so I suspect we're calling it more often. I don't know why we'd be doing that. clear_page_c is also new to the hot list. I haven't tried to understand why this might be so. The ring_buffer_consume() and rb_get_reader_page() functions are part of the oprofile code. This seems to indicate a bug -- they should not be the #12 and #13 hottest functions in the kernel when monitoring a database run! That seems to be about it for regressions. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ma, Chinang > Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2009 1:11 PM > To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org > Cc: Tripathi, Sharad C; arjan@...ux.intel.com; Wilcox, Matthew R; Kleen, > Andi; Siddha, Suresh B; Chilukuri, Harita; Styner, Douglas W; Wang, Peter > Xihong; Nueckel, Hubert; Chris Mason > Subject: Mainline kernel OLTP performance update > > This is latest 2.6.29-rc1 kernel OLTP performance result.
