Running Linux 5.15-rc1 Causing A New Slowdown... Here's A Look

[Danny3]

The Linux Foundation should seriously consider funding you, I mean no one is doing what you do.

I'm really wondering W.T.F. are those guys doing with the huge amounts of money they get from Google, Facebook, Microsoft and all other members ???
I don't see them working to improve the desktop adoption, governments open source adoption or open standards adoption like Vulkan.

Or funding Michael as a full time employee with all the benefits for his amazing work at finding all these regressions and saving millions for all these funding members that use Linux.

I'm really disgusted to see this bullshit corrupt foundation that does nothing !

good work Michael

I think Michael single-handedly is responsible for a very noticeable speedup on Linux systems in general. Or rather computer systems. his work in finding bizarre slowdowns in the kernel, redis, etc... is really valuable. Thank you

I let Linus know.

Michael, did you report the regression to kernel devs? It is another hawkeye find of you.

Phoronix: Running Linux 5.15-rc1 Causing A New Slowdown... Here's A Look

As usual when the Linux 5.15 merge window began wrapping up, I set out to dive into its performance to see what is in store for this next version of the kernel and whether there was any regressions or other performance changes worth noting. Linux 5.15 overall has been in good shape for the "-rc1" state except noticing that code compilation workloads were taking longer on multiple Linux 5.15-rc1-running systems than Linux 5.14 or prior. Seeing it across multiple systems and a very real-world regression, it was worth bisecting and looking closer so here are the details.
