Subject: [linus:master] [maple_tree] 9b05890a25: stress-ng.mmap.ops_per_sec
3.0% improvement
Hello,
kernel test robot noticed a 3.0% improvement of stress-ng.mmap.ops_per_sec on:
commit: 9b05890a25d9197e39fcf5b2298f0b911c323306 ("maple_tree: Prefilled sheaf conversion and testing")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
testcase: stress-ng
config: x86_64-rhel-9.4
compiler: gcc-14
test machine: 64 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6346 CPU @ 3.10GHz (Ice Lake) with 256G memory
parameters:
nr_threads: 100%
testtime: 60s
test: mmap
cpufreq_governor: performance
In addition to that, the commit also has significant impact on the following tests:
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| testcase: change | stress-ng: stress-ng.tmpfs.ops_per_sec 3.2% improvement |
| test machine | 64 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6346 CPU @ 3.10GHz (Ice Lake) with 256G memory |
| test parameters | cpufreq_governor=performance |
| | nr_threads=100% |
| | test=tmpfs |
| | testtime=60s |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Details are as below:
