I found this has been merged by upstream. Do you have some plan to fix
it? Or you think the test itself has some problem?

We have another 2 regressions

- [lkp] [f2fs] 3bdad3c7ee: aim7.jobs-per-min -25.3% regression
- [lkp] [f2fs] b93f771286: aim7.jobs-per-min -81.2% regression

they are merged by upstream now too. So same questions for them too.

Best Regards,
Huang, Ying
