Hi Andrew,
Thanks a lot for comments!
I was tested the whole patchset with fengguang's case-lru-file-readtwice
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wfg/vm-scalability.git/
which is most sensitive case on PageLRU I found. There are no clear performance
drop.
On this single patch, I just test the same case again, there is still no perf
drop. some data is here on my 96 threads machine:
no lock_dep w lock_dep and few other debug option
w this patch, 50.96MB/s 32.93MB/s
w/o this patch, 50.50MB/s 33.53MB/s
And also no any warning from Intel 0day yet.
Thanks a lot!
Alex
