Subject: [lkp-robot] [Btrfs]  4bcecb33b4:  fsmark.files_per_sec -65%
 regression


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -65% regression of fsmark.files_per_sec due to commit:


commit: 4bcecb33b4bc919e0a0383d97d9d4508c8cf78b8 ("Btrfs: fix reported number of inode blocks")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master

in testcase: fsmark
on test machine: 144 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-8890 v3 @ 2.50GHz with 128G memory
with following parameters:

	iterations: 1x
	nr_threads: 64t
	disk: 8BRD_12G
	md: RAID0
	fs: btrfs
	filesize: 4M
	test_size: 60G
	sync_method: fsyncBeforeClose
	cpufreq_governor: performance

test-description: The fsmark is a file system benchmark to test synchronous write workloads, for example, mail servers workload.
test-url: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fsmark/



Details are as below:

To reproduce:

        git clone https://github.com/01org/lkp-tests.git
        cd lkp-tests
        bin/lkp install job.yaml  # job file is attached in this email
        bin/lkp run     job.yaml
