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
