Subject: [lkp-robot] [sched/fair]  c7b5021681:  hackbench.throughput -9.0%
 regression


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -9.0% regression of hackbench.throughput due to commit:


commit: c7b50216818ef3dca14a52e3499750fbad2d9691 ("sched/fair: Remove se->load.weight from se->avg.load_sum")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched/core

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

	nr_threads: 1600%
	mode: process
	ipc: socket
	cpufreq_governor: performance

test-description: Hackbench is both a benchmark and a stress test for the Linux kernel scheduler.
test-url: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/sched/cfs-scheduler/hackbench.c


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
