Most of time the patchset doesn't show any difference (within run-to-run deviation). On NPB it recovers THP regression, but it's probably not enough to make decision. It would be nice if somebody test the patchset on other system or workload. Especially, if the configuration shows regression with THP enabled. -- Kirill A. Shutemov
