Subject: [lkp-robot] [mm] 4af77b68c2: vm-scalability.throughput -9.0%
regression
Greeting,
FYI, we noticed a -9.0% regression of vm-scalability.throughput due to commit:
commit: 4af77b68c2c6280230daf53fe8f13db706858187 ("mm: readahead: increase maximum readahead window")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master
in testcase: vm-scalability
on test machine: 4 threads Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz with 8G memory
with following parameters:
runtime: 300s
test: lru-file-readonce
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:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
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
