NOTE: here are some more info about those test parameters for you to
understand the testcase better:
1x: where 'x' means iterations or loop, corresponding to the 'L' option
of fsmark
1t, 64t: where 't' means thread
4M: means the single file size, corresponding to the '-s' option of fsmark
40G, 30G, 120G: means the total test size
4BRD_12G: BRD is the ramdisk, where '4' means 4 ramdisk, and where '12G'
means
the size of one ramdisk. So, it would be 48G in total. And we
made a
raid on those ramdisk.
As you can see from above data, interestingly, all performance
regressions come from btrfs testing. That's why Chris is also
in the cc list, with which just FYI.
FYI, here I listed more detailed changes for the maximal postive and negtive
changes.
