Subject: [lkp-robot] [sched/fair]  6c362d9657:  netperf.Throughput_Mbps
 -10.1% regression


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -10.1% regression of netperf.Throughput_Mbps due to commit:


commit: 6c362d9657293d700a8299acbeb2f1e24378f488 ("sched/fair: Fix wake_affine() for !NUMA_BALANCING")
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel topic/core-for-CI

in testcase: netperf
on test machine: 16 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU D-1541 @ 2.10GHz with 8G memory
with following parameters:

	ip: ipv4
	runtime: 300s
	nr_threads: 200%
	cluster: cs-localhost
	test: TCP_SENDFILE
	cpufreq_governor: performance

test-description: Netperf is a benchmark that can be use to measure various aspect of networking performance.
test-url: http://www.netperf.org/netperf/


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


To reproduce:

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