Loic,

Here is some discussion on cache false sharing that you may find valuable: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/9431 .
Maybe it is possible to turn perf c2c into some systemic check?

Best regards,
Adam

That sounds like a good idea. And maybe using cachegrind[0] also?

And I wonder if you have some kind of benchmark, somewhere in your toolbox, that someone could use to demonstrate the problem. Maybe such a code could be adapted to show the benefit of the optimization implemented in mempool?
