Is anyone besides me trying to keep up with the flurry of kernel patches on lkml concerning scheduling, memory-mapping, pre-epmtion, etc.? If so, does anyone have a good idea of what works, what works together, and what don't?
I'm currently running 2.4.17 with the preempt patch from rml and grsecurity (let me take a minute to advocate grsecurity. this patchset rocks! www.grsecurity.net for the details. I don't use the ACL stuff, or the heap stuff, but the extra logging, the extra control over the netwking, the added net devices in the entropy pool, and the other protections are SWEET!). So far, this combination rocks! My system is running at a very good clip, and is pretty damn secure. However, I'm looking at the reverse-map patch (Ingos?) and I can't tell if it will work with the pre-empt or not (and would it be beneficial?). I know the new O(1) scheduler is incompatible (and I wouldn't try it anyway. that one is *way* too invasive for me). Anyone making sense of all this stuff? -- Douglas J Hunley (doug at hunley.homeip.net) - Linux User #174778 Admin: Linux StepByStep - http://linux.nf printk(KERN_ERR "msp3400: chip reset failed, penguin on i2c bus?\n"); 2.2.16 /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/msp3400.c _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
