Subject: [lkp] [mm, page_alloc]  68df942cc6: pbzip2.throughput -6.3%
 regression


FYI, we noticed a -6.3% regression of pbzip2.throughput due to commit:

commit 68df942cc66426c0922a91768bed1e05a0e937ab ("mm, page_alloc: remove fair zone allocation policy")
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master

in testcase: pbzip2
on test machine: 48 threads 2 sockets Xeon E5 (Ivytown Ivy Bridge-EP) with 64G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_threads: 100%
	blocksize: 900K
	cpufreq_governor: performance

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