Hello,
kernel test robot noticed a 11.6% improvement of stress-ng.sendfile.ops_per_sec on:
commit: 2cb1e08985e3dc59d0a4ebf770a87e3e2410d985 ("splice: Use filemap_splice_read() instead of generic_file_splice_read()")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master
testcase: stress-ng
test machine: 64 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6346 CPU @ 3.10GHz (Ice Lake) with 256G memory
parameters:
nr_threads: 100%
testtime: 60s
class: pipe
test: sendfile
cpufreq_governor: performance
Details are as below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
To reproduce:
git clone https://github.com/intel/lkp-tests.git
cd lkp-tests
sudo bin/lkp install job.yaml # job file is attached in this email
bin/lkp split-job --compatible job.yaml # generate the yaml file for lkp run
sudo bin/lkp run generated-yaml-file
# if come across any failure that blocks the test,
# please remove ~/.lkp and /lkp dir to run from a clean state.
