Looks good here; TCP performance is up. I've only done a once-over, though, and haven't had a chance to benchmark against pre-2.1.89 numbers. > > pre-90 does a few other minor things, like for example getting rid of > kerneld because the new kmod thing is a lot simpler in many ways.

Works fine here. The scheduler hack seems to be a win, subjectively, but I have no timings to back up that feeling. Some compilation issues with 2.1.89 have been fixed, too. Overall, this seems like a big winner. -Sumner -- rage, rage against the dying of the light - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu | ||||||||||||
