Subject: [linus:master] [sched/fair]  fb1050ac8e: stress-ng.sleep.ops_per_sec 29.9% regression
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 09:53:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <202611060925.fb5500b1-lkp@intel.com> (raw)



Hello,

kernel test robot noticed a 29.9% regression of stress-ng.sleep.ops_per_sec on:


commit: fb1050ac8e40aaa014291b5b53612d27890c2b09 ("sched/fair: Change the default cgroup_mode to concur")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master

testcase: stress-ng
config: x86_64-rhel-9.4
compiler: gcc-14
test machine: 224 threads 2 sockets Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8480CTDX (Sapphire Rapids) with 256G memory
parameters:

  nr_threads: 100%
  testtime: 60s
  test: sleep
  cpufreq_governor: performance


In addition to that, the commit also has significant impact on the following tests:
