Subject: [xfs]  bad77c375e:  stress-ng.fallocate.ops_per_sec -10.0% regression



Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -10.0% regression of stress-ng.fallocate.ops_per_sec due to commit:


commit: bad77c375e8de6c776c848e443f7dc2d0d909be5 ("xfs: CIL checkpoint flushes caches unconditionally")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


in testcase: stress-ng
on test machine: 96 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6252 CPU @ 2.10GHz with 512G memory
with following parameters:

	nr_threads: 10%
	disk: 1HDD
	testtime: 60s
	fs: xfs
	class: filesystem
	test: fallocate
	cpufreq_governor: performance
	ucode: 0x5003006


In addition to that, the commit also has significant impact on the following tests:



If you fix the issue, kindly add following tag

        cd lkp-tests
        bin/lkp install                job.yaml  # job file is attached in this email
        bin/lkp split-job --compatible job.yaml  # generate the yaml file for lkp run
        bin/lkp run                    generated-yaml-file
