Bad things seem to happen with this patch. Each time I booted it (twice) several telnet connections get dropped before I get a prompt (this is without any load on the system). The system SEEMED a bit less responsive. I can't be sure about that because I booted it remotely. After starting stress-kernel and logging out, I couldn't get back into the system remotely. Telnet and ssh both would just hang indefinitely. The console was still useable I think (according to my wife being my remote hands and eyes.) I saw no indications in the log of any unhappiness or any indications of why connections were dropping and hanging. Also the highest latency reported was 252 usec. kr - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
