Subject: [lkp-robot] [mm]  c79b57e462:  vm-scalability.throughput 25%
 improvement


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a +25% improvement of vm-scalability.throughput due to commit:


commit: c79b57e462b5d2f47afa5f175cf1828f16e18612 ("mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge page")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

in testcase: vm-scalability
on test machine: 88 threads Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699 v4 @ 2.20GHz with 128G memory
with following parameters:

	runtime: 300s
	size: 8T
	test: anon-w-seq-mt
	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:
