Hi Greg,
just curious and no criticism intended :-) Is 2.6.37 so stable, that it doesn't
need fixes? I mean, it is almost a month out in the wild and no stable release.
And no, I have no urgent issues. As I said, just curious.
Happy weekend

We're lulling bugs into a false sense of security. We'll slaughter them
by the hundreds in their sleep :)

Chuckle. I've been running 2.6.37 here, with all of that new group
scheduling stuff enabled, the desktop feels great and my only fuss is that
kaffiene, when watching digital tv on my pcHD-3000 card, is NOT getting
enough time so both the audio and the video have little 20 millisecond
holes chopped in them at sub-second intervals. Not the most pleasant thing
to watch. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to get such an
application a higher priority.

If you have something that really needs tons of CPU, you can try echo
-10 > /proc/pid/autogroup. If your app has realtime constraints though,
nothing but realtime scheduling will help.

There is a .37.1 release planned soon, there is a queue of pending
patches for it already in the stable-queue tree if you are curious.
I've just been busy with work and travel lately, combined with nothing
"major" to warrent a new stable release, which has caused the delay.
thanks,
