That helps a bit, but we are still nowehere near v4.6 performance: pavel@amd:/data/fast/pavel$ sudo ddrescue --force /dev/sda2 /dev/null GNU ddrescue 1.19 Press Ctrl-C to interrupt rescued: 8559 MB, errsize: 0 B, current rate: 53084 kB/s ipos: 8559 MB, errors: 0, average rate: 71327 kB/s 3933 root 20 0 4612 1216 1128 R 68.6 0.0 0:12.14 ddrescue 967 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 64.4 0.0 1:18.67 kswapd0 (I applied the patch on 5.7.0-next-20200611+). Do we know which original change is causing this? Any other ideas?
