I ran the LMbench Pipe and IPC latency test bucket against the IPC lock
patch from Mingming Cao and found the patch improves the performance of
those functions from 1% to 9%. See the attached data. The kernel under
test is 2.5.29, SMP kernel running on a 4-way 500 MHz. The data for
2.5.29s4-ipc represents the average of three runs.
Percent
2.5.29s4 2.5.29s4-ipc Improvement
Pipe latency 12.51 11.43 9%
AF_Unix sock stream latency 21.61 19.82 8%
UDP latency using localhost 36.28 35.12 3%
TCP latency using localhost 56.90 54.89 4%
RPC/tcp latency using local host 123.30 121.91 1%
RPC/udp latency using localhost 89.78 88.70 1%
TCP/IP connection cost to localhost 192.74 187.76 3%
Note: Latency is in microseconds
Note: 2.5.29s4 is the base 2.5.29 SMP kernel running on a 4-way,
2.5.29s4-ipc is the base 2.5.29 SMP kernel built with IPC lock patch.
