[Bug 177713] Re: CFS in 2.6.24 kernel needs cpu_share adjustment for niced processes

2008-10-06 Thread JuRiJ
Hi guys, I had same problem with CFS + BOINC + pulseaudio on my Pentium 4 HT 2.8GHz. The trouble was caused by using schedtool to run BOINC. After I removed it (sudo aptitude purge schedtool), there was no pulseaudio stuttering (despite pulseaudio is using 20% of my CPU... which is IMHO pretty

Dana, the linux task has been invalidated before. Please refer to bug 188226 to improve the default kernel behaviour. I just wanted to provide the workaround for boinc, which I'm using myself. Dhaval has asked me to use the uevents interface instead, so I'll do a new upload for boinc later, which

Aah, okay. Perhaps this bug just needs to be renamed back to being specific to 'boinc' again, and not marked fixed yet since it's not yet a 'proper' fix. I can confirm, by installing the old .22 kernel, that the audio dropouts only happen with the new .24 kernel. It's especially noticeable with

I'm adding an assignment to linux-source-2.6.24, because working around the bug in boinc does not fix the underlying cause. In addition to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] issues, I've also noticed dropouts / skipping in PulseAudio upon doing things such as closing my laptop lid; under the 2.6.22 kernel, I

One temporary solution to avoid ditching boinc or folding for those who ran two processes on a dual core system is to run one process. You'll lose some efficiency, yes, but the system doesn't become a hog. -- CFS in 2.6.24 kernel needs cpu_share adjustment for niced processes
