Subject: Re: [numa shrinker] 9b17c62382: -36.6% regression on sparse file copy
Hi Dave,
As you suggested, I added tests for ext4 and btrfs, the results are
the same.
Then I tried running perf record for 10 seconds starting from 200s.
(The test runs for 410s). I see several warning messages and hope
they do not impact the accuracy too much:
[ 252.608069] perf samples too long (2532 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000
[ 252.608863] perf samples too long (2507 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000
[ 252.609422] INFO: NMI handler (perf_event_nmi_handler) took too long to run: 1.389 msecs
Anyway the noticeable perf change are:
