Subject: [lkp-robot] [mm, THP, swap]  38d8b4e6bd:  vm-scalability.throughput
 16.0% improvement


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a 16.0% improvement of vm-scalability.throughput due to commit:


commit: 38d8b4e6bdc872f07a3149309ab01719c96f3894 ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

in testcase: vm-scalability
on test machine: 8 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz with 8G memory
with following parameters:

	runtime: 300
	thp_enabled: always
	thp_defrag: always
	nr_task: 8
	nr_pmem: 1
	test: swap-w-seq
	cpufreq_governor: performance

test-description: The motivation behind this suite is to exercise functions and regions of the mm/ of the Linux kernel which are of interest to us.
test-url: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/wfg/vm-scalability.git/



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
