Subject: Performance degradation with FFSB between 2.6.20 and 2.6.21-rc7
Running benchmark tests (FFSB) on an ext4 filesystem, I noticed a
performance degradation (about 15-20 percent) in sequential write tests
between 2.6.19-rc6 and 2.6.21-rc4 kernels.
I ran the same tests on ext3 and XFS filesystems and I saw the same
performance difference between the two kernel versions for these two
filesystems.
I have also reproduced it between 2.6.20.7 and 2.6.21-rc7.
The FFSB tests run 16 threads, each creating 1GB files. The tests were
done on the same x86_64 system, with the same kernel configuration and
on the same scsi device. Below are the throughput values given by FFSB.
kernel XFS ext3
----------
2.6.20.7 48 MB/sec 44 MB/sec
2.6.21-rc7 38 MB/sec 37 MB/sec
Did anyone else run across the problem?
Is there a known issue?
