Better performance & resource consumption, particularly on larger machines. 2. Diagnosis tools (kgdb, early_printk, etc). I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any platform, however large or small. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/2.6.9/patch-2.6.9-mjb1.bz2 Pending: config_page_offset per_node_rss local_balance_exec reluctance in cross-node balance (less_bouncy) sched tunables patch Child runs first (akpm) Netdump Present in this patch: -mjb Martin J.
