Hi Nick,
I have collected performance numbers for the lock less page cache patch on the AIM - IO test. The performance numbers are collected for 1-100 tasks 1-50 tasks and 90-100 tasks both for with and without your patch. This was done on 2.6.13 kernel. There's definite improvement when the tasks are small i.e ~50-70. But when the tasks go beyond 80, we see a large performance dip. I again profiled the 90-100 runs with spinlock's inlined, but couldn't understand the reason behind the performance difference.
Please find attached the performance numbers as well as the oprofile logs.
Thanks & Regards, Alok
