A significant bugfix for forking tasks was just posted, so here is an updated version of the staircase deadline cpu scheduler. This may cause noticeable behavioural improvements under certain workloads (such as compiling software with make).
Thanks to Al Boldi for making me check the fork code! http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/staircase-deadline/2.6.20.7-sd-0.44.patch http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/staircase-deadline/2.6.21-rc7-sd-0.44.patch Incrementals in http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/staircase-deadline/2.6.20.7/ http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/staircase-deadline/2.6.21-rc7/ Renicing X to -10, while not essential, is preferable. See the patch just posted called 'sched: implement staircase scheduler yaf fix' for full changelog. -- -ck - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
