In between 2.5.56 and 2.5.57 IO speeds have dropped if CONFIG_PREEMPT is
set.
The machine is a 4 processor Xeon with 8GB of RAM. The external storage is
attached to the machine via qlogic 2200 HBAs using the qlogicfc driver.
The filesystems on the external devices is reiserfs, mounted with noatime
as the only change from defaults. The config file is attached below. The
same config was used for both 2.5.56 and 2.5.57. The config has
preemptable kernel enabled. I know preemption will lower your throughput,
but it was enabled in 2.5.56, and speed was good.
The test involved the simultaneous writing to all 8 filesystems on the
external storage. On 2.5.56, the vmstat output is below

For 2.5.57, the io bo rate drops, and the system time pegs at 100%

If I recompile 2.5.57 with preemption off, the vmstat rates go back to the
rates similar to the 2.5.56 w/ preemption turned on.
Is this expected behaviour now?
Thanks in advance.

Judging by the coffee dribbles on my monitor: no.
Thanks for the detailed report. Let me crunch on that.

I cannot reproduce this :(
Machine is a quad pIII Xeon, 4G of RAM (IDE starts bouncing above 4G),
writing four disks (2xIDE, 2xSCSI).

And the I/O rate is the same. So all we've done here is to move the lock
contention from kernel/sched.c to fs/reiserfs/inode.c. It'll be
lock_kernel().
So hm. Confused. Could you please:
- double check everything.
- try booting with mem=4G? It could be that something broke and there is
bounce buffering happening above 4G - the regular kernel profiler often
will not show this.
- remove the cpu_relax() call from kernel/sched.c:__preempt_spin_lock()
Thanks.

created 2 kernel trees, patched to 2.5.57. Same config in each except for
the PREEMPT. Same results(below)

No change, results at bottom

No change either
I have been hitting an odd issue, and I haven't had a chance to traceback
to where it came from(versionwise). FS changes seem to be getting rolled
back at times. For example, I run make menuconfig, add my config options
for CONFIG_MEGARAID to be built in, and recompile kernel. I install and
reboot, and that config file, which contained CONFIG_MEGARAID=y, reverts
back to its original state. multiple syncs seem to keep this in the
correct state. The filesystem that this is occuring on is ext3, mounted
with defaults, on a megaraid controller. I'll trace this down later and
post results.
Results, config attached at bottom
Preempt on, mem=4G

OK, thanks. The below patch reverts the spinlocking change,

Suggest that you make sure it's not some strangeness in the kernel build
system which is writing out a modified .config file.

Reverting that brings the speed back up

OK. How irritating.
Presumably there's a fairness problem - once a CPU goes in there to start
spinning on the lock, the length of the loop is such that it's easy for
non-holders to zoom in and claim it first. Or something.
Unless another way of solving the problem which that patch solves presents
itself we may need to revert it.
Or not. Should a CONFIG_PREEMPT SMP kernel compromise its latency because of
overused locking??
I'd appreciate it if you could take a closer look at the mysterious
self-reverting .config, please. See if you can work out what is causing it,
tell me how you're rebooting (reboot -f? -fn? Big Red Button?) and whether
the offending file is on the root filesystem, etc.
Thanks.

Seemed to vanish with 2.5.58. It was non-root filesystem, with a clean
'reboot' shutdown.
2.5.58 performed the same as 2.5.57 with regards to preemption on, off,
and patched.
