Subject[Regression][stable] Major hackbench pipes regression due to commit 'sched/fair: Search a task from the tail of the queue'
Date
Hi, Uladzislau

We found a major regression (more than -40%) of hackbench on 2VCPU
(skylake) virtual machine, with LTS kernel v4.19.36. Following commit be
bisect by test 'hackbench --thread --pipe --group 1 --loop 60000'

    sched/fair: Search a task from the tail of the queue

---

-default: 21.048

-revert: 14.385


It said that the hackbench has slightly better performance with 40
groups in the commit log, but it seems more performance dropped with
less groups, such as less than 32 group. I also tried this benchmark
with newest v5.1-rc6 kernel, same regression was found.

Could you please also have a check?

Thanks!

BRs/Shile
