Hi experts,

When I use fio to write our distribution storage, I find a lot of page
faults that affect the performance.

My OS is CentOS7,  anyone could give suggestions on how to root cause
this issue? The CPU is running at 100%.

[root@58 15:50:57 ~]$uname -a
Linux 58 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.smartx.1.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 16
22:09:10 CST 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks in advance.
