There is actually a very simple reason for that, the actual patch is not my primary focus, for me it's actually more an afterthought of the actual design to show that it actually works. My primary interest is a _discussion_ of the scheduler design, but Ingo insists on patches. Sorry, but I don't really work this way, I want to think things through _first_, I need a solid concept and I don't like to rely on guesswork. How much response would I have gotten if I had only posted the example program and the math description as I initially planned? bye, Roman - 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/
