Reminded by Matthew, I tested this patch using UnixBench's pipe
test case on a x86_64 machine,and get the following data:
1) before this patch
System Benchmarks Partial Index BASELINE RESULT INDEX
Pipe Throughput 12440.0 493023.3 396.3
========
System Benchmarks Index Score (Partial Only) 396.3
2) after this patch
System Benchmarks Partial Index BASELINE RESULT INDEX
Pipe Throughput 12440.0 507551.4 408.0
========
System Benchmarks Index Score (Partial Only) 408.0
so we get ~3% speedup.
Reminded by Andrew, I tested this patch with the test code in
Linus's 0ddad21d3e99 add get following result:
Happy new 2023 Hongchen Zhang,
Thanks for the update and sorry for the late response.
Should be "...s/add/and get following result:"
I cannot say much about the patch itself or tested it in my build-environment.
