Trying to review this and it doesn't apply to mmotm-2018-05-18-16-44. git fails on patch 10: Applying: mm, THP, swap: Support to count THP swapin and its fallback error: Documentation/vm/transhuge.rst: does not exist in index Patch failed at 0010 mm, THP, swap: Support to count THP swapin and its fallback Sure enough, this tag has Documentation/vm/transhuge.txt but not the .rst version. Was this the tag you meant? If so did you pull in some of Mike Rapoport's doc changes on top? > base optimized > ---------------- -------------------------- > %stddev %change %stddev > \ | \ > 1417897 ± 2% +992.8% 15494673 vm-scalability.throughput > 1020489 ± 4% +1091.2% 12156349 vmstat.swap.si > 1255093 ± 3% +940.3% 13056114 vmstat.swap.so > 1259769 ± 7% +1818.3% 24166779 meminfo.AnonHugePages > 28021761 -10.7% 25018848 ± 2% meminfo.AnonPages > 64080064 ± 4% -95.6% 2787565 ± 33% > interrupts.CAL:Function_call_interrupts > 13.91 ± 5% -13.8 0.10 ± 27% > perf-profile.children.cycles-pp.native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath > ...snip... > test, while in optimized kernel, that is 96.6%.
