Hi Viresh,
I'm not sure how the simple commit will impact will-it-scale/pwrite2
throughput. Just in case you can see more clues.

commit d5a085970b0b88b8c82303d2c45f09c9427fd02a ("clockevents: x86: add support for
ONESHOT_STOPPED mode")
test case: nhm4/will-it-scale/pwrite2

It calls the pwrite2() syscall in parallel, on one single tmpfs file.

Hi Fengguang,
Thanks for your link: https://github.com/antonblanchard/will-it-scale.git
You saw these changes because the simple commit you were talking about
changes behavior of code.
To be specific, we are stopping the clock-event devices now when they
aren't used. i.e. during idle periods or in full dynticks.
I still fail to understand why performance came down by 9.2%..
Adding Frederic in CC, in case he can throw some light. But he is currently
on vacations and I don't expect him to reply immediately :)

Has this impacted more than a single system? I wonder if that system
was using the HPET where all the others were using the TSC.
