Subject: RCU related performance regression in 3.3
Hi Paul,
We've had a few reports of some boot slowdowns with the 3.3 rebase we
did in Fedora 16. One of our users volunteered to bisect a vanilla
kernel and wound up at "rcu: Permit dyntick-idle with callbacks pending
(commit 7cb924990)". You can find more details in the bug [1], but it's
been reported on both physical hardware and in virtual machines.
Have you seen anything like this in your testing? Given the user used a
vanilla 3.3 kernel, I'm wondering if there is a targetted fix that might
be backported. If so, it would be good to get that headed to the 3.3.y
stable tree.
