while testing your patchset and Aubrey one on top of tip, I'm facing some perf regression on my arm64 numa system on hackbench and reaim. The regression seems to comes from your patchset but i don't know which patch in particular yet hackbench -l 256000 -g 1 v5.10-rc7 + tip/sched/core 13,255(+/- 3.22%) with your patchset 15.368(+/- 2.74) -15.9% I'm also seeing perf regression on reaim but this one needs more investigation before confirming TBH, I was not expecting regressions. I'm running more test to find which patch is the culprit > > -- > Mel Gorman > SUSE Labs
