Hi Mike,

I re-test it in v5.9-rc8, the regression still existed. It is almost the same as 34ae204f1851. Do you have time to look at it? Thanks.


Thank you for testing.

Just curious, did you apply the series in this thread or just test v5.9-rc8?
If just testing v5.9-rc8, no changes to this code were added after 34ae204f1851,
so results being the same are expected.


I just test v5.9-rc8. Where can I find the series patches you mentioned here? Or just wait for the next mainline release?


My apologies. I missed that you were not cc'ed on this thred:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200706202615.32111-1-mike.kravetz@xxxxxxxxxx/

As mentioned, there will likely be another revision to the way locking is
handled. The new scheme will try to consider performance as is done in
the above link. I suggest you wait for next revision. If you do not mind,
I will cc you when the new code is posted.


OK. I will wait for the next revision.
