Subject: [lkp] [mremap]  5d1904204c:  will-it-scale.per_thread_ops -13.1%
 regression


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -13.1% regression of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops due to commit:


commit 5d1904204c99596b50a700f092fe49d78edba400 ("mremap: fix race between mremap() and page cleanning")
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

in testcase: will-it-scale
on test machine: 12 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU X 980 @ 3.33GHz with 6G memory
with following parameters:

	test: eventfd1
	cpufreq_governor: performance

test-description: Will It Scale takes a testcase and runs it from 1 through to n parallel copies to see if the testcase will scale. It builds both a process and threads based test in order to see any differences between the two.
test-url: https://github.com/antonblanchard/will-it-scale


Details are as below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->


To reproduce:

        git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/lkp-tests.git
        cd lkp-tests
        bin/lkp install job.yaml  # job file is attached in this email
        bin/lkp run     job.yaml
