Hi Trond,
I attached perf-profile part big changes, hope it is useful for
analyzing the issue.

Hi Trond,

I've asked several times now about how to interpret your results. As
far as I can tell from your numbers, the overhead appears to be
entirely contained in the NUMA section of your results.
IOW: it would appear to be a scheduling overhead due to NUMA. I've
been asking whether or not that is a correct interpretation of the
numbers you published.
Thanks for your feedback. I used the same hardware and the same test
parameters to test the two commits:
e791f8e938 ("SUNRPC: Convert xs_send_kvec() to use iov_iter_kvec()")
0472e47660 ("SUNRPC: Convert socket page send code to use
iov_iter()")
If it is caused by NUMA, why only commit 0472e47660 throughput is
decreased? The filesystem we test is NFS, commit 0472e47660 is related
with the network, could you help to check if have any other clues for
the regression. Thanks.
