Subject: [lkp-robot] [sched/fair]  6d46bd3d97:  netperf.Throughput_tps -11.3%
 regression


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -11.3% regression of netperf.Throughput_tps due to commit:


commit: 6d46bd3d9705555382b83554b56a34f231d5d1dd ("sched/fair: Improve the behavior of sync flag")
url: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Joel-Fernandes/sched-fair-Improve-the-behavior-of-sync-flag/20170829-191129


in testcase: netperf
on test machine: 8 threads Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2750 @ 2.40GHz with 16G memory
with following parameters:

	ip: ipv4
	runtime: 300s
	nr_threads: 25%
	cluster: cs-localhost
	test: TCP_CRR
	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
