A simple test if the scheduler is likely to blame would be to compare context switch rates between the different kernel versions who show differing performance. You can do that with running "vmstat 1" in parallel and checking the "cs" column. Another powerful but quite slow method if you can easily reproduce it would be a full git bisect. That would identify exactly which change introduced your problem. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
