Subject: [linus:master] [mm,thp,rmap]  cb67f4282b:  vm-scalability.throughput
 34.5% improvement


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a 34.5% improvement of vm-scalability.throughput due to commit:


commit: cb67f4282bf9693658dbda934a441ddbbb1446df ("mm,thp,rmap: simplify compound page mapcount handling")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

in testcase: vm-scalability
on test machine: 96 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8260L CPU @ 2.40GHz (Cascade Lake) with 128G memory
with following parameters:

	runtime: 300s
	size: 128G
	test: truncate-seq
	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
        sudo 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
        sudo bin/lkp run generated-yaml-file

        # if come across any failure that blocks the test,
        # please remove ~/.lkp and /lkp dir to run from a clean state.
