Ingo, stop doing this kind of crap.
Let's make it clear: if the NUMA patches continue to regress
performance for reasonable loads (and that very much includes "no
THP") then they won't be merged.
You seem to be in total denial. Every time Mel sends out results that
show that your patches MAKE PERFORMANCE WORSE you blame Mel, or blame
the load, and never seem to admit that performance got worse.
Stop it. That kind of "head-in-the-sand" behavior is not conducive to
good code, and I have absolutely *zero* interest in merging a branch
that has been tested with only your load on only your machine, and
performs better on that *one* load, and then regresses on other loads.
Seriously. If you can't make the non-THP case go faster, don't even
bother sending out the patches.
Similarly, if you cannot take performance results from others, don't
even bother sending out the patches. If all you care about is your own
special case, then keep the patches on your own machine, and stop
bothering others with your patches.
So stop ignoring the feedback, and stop shooting the messenger. Look
at the numbers, and admit that there is something that needs to be
fixed.
