Greeting,
FYI, we noticed a -22.1% regression of netperf.Throughput_tps due to commit:
commit: 106b167fed0c54a1f9db472c910979d65fcfd629 ("sched: force update of blocked
load of idle cpus")
git://internal_merge_and_test_tree devel-catchup-201710171950
in testcase: netperf
on test machine: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 4 -m 5G
with following parameters:
ip: ipv4
runtime: 300s
nr_threads: 25%
cluster: cs-localhost
test: UDP_RR
test-description: Netperf is a benchmark that can be use to measure various aspect of
networking performance.
