Subject: [patch/backport] CFS scheduler, -v24.1, for v2.6.23.12, v2.6.22.15 and
v2.6.21.7
I'm pleased to announce the v24.1 CFS backport patches.
It is a full backport of the latest & greatest upstream scheduler code
to v2.6.23.12, v2.6.22.15 and v2.6.21.7. (Note: the upstream 2.6.24-rc5
and soon-to-be-released v2.6.24-rc6 kernels already include the v24.1
CFS code.)
The CFS patches can be downloaded from the usual place:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/
No major user-visible changes were done since v24, only a number of
bugfixes. The delta since v24 is:
8 files changed, 339 insertions(+), 484 deletions(-)

So, if the testswith above patch go well, 2.6.23 seems like the best option.
Dann and I agreed that security support for the overlapping 2-3 months is fine.
Cheers,
Moritz
