Hash: SHA1

Updated my patchset:
These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and add features
with specific emphasis on the desktop.

http://kernel.kolivas.org

Full feature list:
am
Autoregulates the virtual memory swappiness.
domains
Sched_domains support for better hyperthreading and SMP support including my
smt nice changes
stair
A complete scheduler policy rewrite for interactivity and responsiveness
batch
Batch scheduling.
iso
Isochronous scheduling.
cfqioprio
Complete Fair Queueing disk scheduler and I/O priorities
schedioprio
Set initial I/O priorities according to cpu scheduling policy and nice
sng204
Supermount-NG v2.0.4
bs314
Bootsplash v3.1.4
reiser4
Reiser4 filesystem
cddma
DMA for cd audio
grsec
Greater security (not included in default patch).


Changelog
Additions:
+ Staircase scheduler - my complete scheduler policy rewrite for interactivity
built on top of the current O(1) scheduler
+ CD audio DMA
+ Grsec (optional only in experimental dir as it breaks compile if disabled)

Changes:
~New batch scheduling (idle scheduling) policy from scratch based on new
scheduler is much simpler and less prone to system starvation issues
~New isochronous scheduling (low latency, non real time scheduling for
non-privileged users)
~Updated sched_domains
~Updated bootsplash v3.1.4
~Updated reiser4 snapshot (2004.03.25)

Unchanged:
Autoregulated vm swappiness
Supermount-NG v 2.0.4
CFQ I/O scheduler with I/O priority support.


This is my parting gesture as I'll be on extended leave from 31st March till
the end of May.

I was experiencing "skips" in video while playing mpeg4-video with mplayer
over a DVB-S-card (that means on-the-fly transcoding from mpeg4 to mpeg1) on
kernel 2.6.4 with -ck1-patch. I thought it was a problem with mplayer, but it
went away when I tried -ck2 :)
Nice work.
