Subject: [lkp-robot] [ipc/sem.c]  f4b5bafaf7: aim9.shared_memory.ops_per_sec
 11.3% improvement


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a 11.3% improvement of aim9.shared_memory.ops_per_sec due to commit:


commit: f4b5bafaf7c0a3b2f204e48c07b5335ed93266fa ("ipc/sem.c: avoid using spin_unlock_wait()")
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master

in testcase: aim9
on test machine: 48 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz with 64G memory
with following parameters:

	testtime: 300s
	test: shared_memory
	cpufreq_governor: performance

test-description: Suite IX is the "AIM Independent Resource Benchmark:" the famous synthetic benchmark.
test-url: https://sourceforge.net/projects/aimbench/files/aim-suite9/

In addition to that, the commit also has significant impact on the following tests:
