Did you look at the config that was generated before running the
tests again?

So these tests were still run with the same RWSEM_SPIN_ON_OWNER=y
configuration, and so unsurprisingly the result was the same with
spin contention on the directory inode rwsem.

You'll save yourself (and everyone else) a lot of time by validating
that your config changes are valid before re-running tests...

Cheers,

Dave.
