Subject: RSS controller v2 Test results (lmbench )
Hi, Pavel/Andrew,
I've run lmbench on RSS controller v2 with the following patches
applied
rss-fix-free-of-active-pages.patch
rss-fix-nodescan.patch
rss-implement-per-container-page-referenced.patch
rss-fix-lru-race
(NOTE: all of these were posted on lkml)
I've used three configurations for testing
1. Container mounted with the RSS controller and the tests started within
a container whose RSS is limited to 256 MB
2. Counter mounted, but no limit set
3. Counter not mounted
(1) is represented by cont256, (2) by contmnt and (3) by contnomnt respectively
in the results.

contnomnt Linux 2.6.20- 1993 1.506 6.9410 97.4
Quick interpretation of results
1. contmnt and cont256 are comparable in performance
2. contnomnt showed degraded performance compared to contmnt
A meaningful container size does not hamper performance. I am in the process
of getting more results (with varying container sizes). Please let me know
what you think of the results? Would you like to see different benchmarks/
tests/configuration results?
Any feedback, suggestions to move this work forward towards identifying
and correcting bottlenecks or to help improve it is highly appreciated.
