Hi Paulo,

thank you for your suggestion, the performance results seems to be really good and
i agree, it makes sense to check the possibility of backporting this patchset.

i've created an Epic for that in internal jira https://jira.sw.ru/browse/PSBM-142472
Hope it will be synced soon to the public jira as well.

(And yes, surely we are talking here about backporting to Virtuozzo 9 kernel.)
