[arch-dev-public] 2.6.23.8-2 with cfs scheduler backport from ingo molnar?
Hi http://www.archlinux.org/~tpowa/2.6.23/ includes a new .8 kernel with ingo molnars backport of the cfs scheduler from .24 kernel and gregs rc1 stable patch for .9 kernel it adresses these bugs: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8721 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8745 this cfs patch is something quite big and i don't know if you all want to go this way to fix this issues. It could have the potential to break things, but also the speed improvements that will appear in .24 kernel and it seems to fix the wpa issues we have. Also for my system it runs stable. i would like to bring it to testing tomrrow to get finally the last issues fixed for a new installation ISO. any comments on it? thanks greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

Is this new 2.6.23-scheduler branch maintained, or is it a one-shot-only backport. These huge modifications to a "stable" kernel look quite scary to me.

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/ it was introduced by demand so i guess ingo molnar will provide further patches in the future. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
