I did some testing under kvm, not sure these numbers actually mean something, but still. So, the test-case: int pipe1[2], pipe2[2]; void *tfunc(void *arg) { for (;;) { char c; assert(read(pipe1[0], &c, 1) == 1); assert(write(pipe2[1], &c, 1) == 1); } } int main(void) { pthread_t thr; int nr; assert(pipe(pipe1) == 0); assert(pipe(pipe2) == 0); assert(pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0); for (nr = 0; nr < 1000 * 1000; ++nr) { char c; assert(write(pipe1[1], &c, 1) == 1); assert(read(pipe2[0], &c, 1) == 1); } return 0; } Idle machine, "/usr/bin/time -f "%e %S %U" taskset 1 ./pf" 3 times: 20.73 20.05 0.66 20.68 20.04 0.63 20.68 20.02 0.65 Now with "perf record -e sched:sched_switch -p1" running, before 3/3: 21.59 20.77 0.80 21.40 20.70 0.68 21.50 20.72 0.78 after 3/3: 21.00 20.23 0.76 20.89 20.19 0.69 20.94 20.26 0.66 Oleg. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
