Subject: Re: [PATCH] workqueue: Add WQ_SCHED_FIFO


Greeting,

FYI, we noticed a -8.2% regression of stress-ng.kill.ops_per_sec due to commit:


commit: 62640b40b22c774c8b73b9d9a8f285fea233f78c ("[PATCH] workqueue: Add WQ_SCHED_FIFO")
url: https://github.com/intel-lab-lkp/linux/commits/Nathan-Huckleberry/workqueue-Add-WQ_SCHED_FIFO/20230114-050854

patch link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230113210703.62107-1-nhuck@google.com/
patch subject: [PATCH] workqueue: Add WQ_SCHED_FIFO

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

	nr_threads: 10%
	disk: 1HDD
	testtime: 60s
	fs: ext4
	class: os
	test: kill
	cpufreq_governor: performance

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.
