[kernel test robot]

Hello,

kernel test robot noticed a 18.5% regression of lmbench3.PIPE.bandwidth.MB/sec on:


commit: f7f4665dc520fd8bbc1db20e59945773e03744a0 ("fs/pipe: unify the page pools into a single per-pipe pool") https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

testcase: lmbench3
config: x86_64-rhel-9.4
compiler: gcc-14
test machine: 224 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) (Sapphire Rapids) with 128G memory
parameters:

	test_memory_size: 50%
	nr_threads: 20%
	mode: development
	test: PIPE
	cpufreq_governor: performance
