Subject: Revert sched latency defaults
|
|
References: bnc#557307
|
|
Patch-mainline: Never
|
|
|
|
The upstream commit 172e082a91 re-tuned the sched latency defaults to better
|
|
suit desktop workloads. This hurt server workloads. So revert the latency
|
|
defaults to values similar to SLE11 GM to avoid several performance
|
|
regressions.
|
|
|
|
Also, turn FAIR_SLEEPERS off and NORMALIZED_SLEEPER on. The above scheduler
|
|
tunables seem to be most effective with FAIR_SLEEPERS off and
|
|
NORMALIZED_SLEEPER on.
|
|
|
|
The sysbench, dbench and Specjjb results showed much better performance with
|
|
these changes.
|
|
|
|
The interbench results didn't show any user visible impact and I expect
|
|
desktop workloads won't be affected much. Iam not aware of/heard of any impact
|
|
of this tuning that is affecting any specific workload.
