Subject: [lkp] [mm, page_alloc] e6cbd7f2ef: pixz.throughput -5.1% regression
FYI, we noticed a -5.1% regression of pixz.throughput due to commit:
commit e6cbd7f2efb433d717af72aa8510a9db6f7a7e05 ("mm, page_alloc: remove fair zone allocation policy")
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
in testcase: pixz
on test machine: 48 threads Ivytown Ivy Bridge-EP with 64G memory
with following parameters:
nr_threads: 100%
cpufreq_governor: performance
Disclaimer:
Results have been estimated based on internal Intel analysis and are provided
for informational purposes only. Any difference in system hardware or software
design or configuration may affect actual performance.
Details are as below:
