This I assume is with the entire rwsem > v8 patchset. Any idea of the run variation on the workload? Yunhan, I haven't got a chance to make multiple runs to check the standard deviation. From the few runs I did, I got a 5.1% increase in performance for aim7 shared workload for the complete rwsem patchset on a similar machine that you are using. The patches are applied to the 3.12-rc7 and compared to the vanilla kernel. Thanks. Tim
