Subject: [lkp-developer] [ext4]  96f8ba3dd6: fio.write_bw_MBps +510.6%
 improvement


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a +510.6% improvement of fio.write_bw_MBps due to commit:


commit: 96f8ba3dd632aff684cc7c67d9f4af435be0341c ("ext4: avoid split extents for DAX writes")
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

in testcase: fio-basic
on test machine: 56 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v3 @ 2.30GHz with 256G memory
with following parameters:

	disk: 2pmem
	fs: ext4
	mount_option: dax
	runtime: 200s
	nr_task: 50%
	time_based: tb
	rw: randwrite
	bs: 4k
	ioengine: sync
	test_size: 200G
