(The main goal of CFS is to implement "desktop scheduling" with as high quality as technically possible.) The CFS patch against v2.6.21.1 (or against v2.6.20.10) can be downloaded from the usual place: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/ -v9 is a small fixes-only release: 6 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) it includes small fixlets, the most notable of which is the 64-bit SMP balancing fix from Balbir Singh. Things are clearly calming down and there's been no report of interactivity regression against -v8 so far, which is certainly promising. So please try to break -v9 :-) Changes since -v8: - SMP balancing fix for powerpc/64-bit. (Balbir Singh) - build warning fix and microoptimization: sched_find_first_bit() only needs to cover 100 priority levels. (Mike Galbraith) - fix long initial delay in tasks reniced in a positive direction. (reported by Al Boldi) - fix missing syscall_table.S entry for sys_sched_yield_to. (noticed by Vegard Nossum) - small tweaks to the /proc/sched_debug output As usual, any sort of feedback, bugreport, fix and suggestion is more than welcome, Ingo - 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/
