Re: rq lock contention due to commit af7f588d8f73

[Linux regression tracking #adding (Thorsten Leemhuis)]

Thanks for the report. To be sure the issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced af7f588d8f73
#regzbot monitor
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230403181342.210896-1-mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
#regzbot monitor
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230330230911.228720-1-mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
#regzbot title sched: PostgreSQL performance regression introduced by mm_cid
#regzbot ignore-activity

This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already
discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when
the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or
something else totally wrong? Then just reply and tell me -- ideally
while also telling regzbot about it, as explained by the page listed in
the footer of this mail.

Developers: When fixing the issue, remember to add 'Link:' tags pointing
to the report (the parent of this mail). See page linked in footer for
details.

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
