Sorry! I really didn't see this overhead in hackbench (I guess it was
also very hard to see because of the variation). I will try
LKP/unixbench and measure again (I haven't used LKP before so can't
wait to try it!). I suspect this test is doing several updates within
a short time period . most of the errors in my usecase I see are
during infrequent updates so I'm happy to just fix the error for
those.
I'm glad to have a usecase now to measure this (assuming the unixbench
regression is real) :-)
A better patch is coming soon! thanks everyone!
