I've also merged Nick's "mm: madvise avoid exclusive mmap_sem".
- Nick's patch also will help this problem. It could be that your patch
no longer offers a 2x speedup when combined with Nick's patch.
It could well be that the combination of the two is even better, but it
would be nice to firm that up a bit.
I'll test that.
Thanks.
Well, good news.
It turns out that Nick's patch does not improve peak
performance much, but it does prevent the decline when
running with 16 threads on my quad core CPU!
We _definately_ want both patches, there's a huge benefit
in having them both.
Here are the transactions/seconds for each combination:
vanilla new glibc madv_free kernel madv_free + mmap_sem
