| |
Hi,
last night I made a few new patches. For one there's a quick scheduler patch which makes the scheduler consider CPU usage on a somewhat longer term as well as on the short term, giving CPU time away a bit more fairly when a process sleeps for a few timeslices.
The second patch is a new version of the VM patch, packed with suggestions from Davem (thanks Dave). The __alloc_pages() function has been cleaned up and drop_behind() might actually work now.
The balance between clean and dirty pages has also been changed a bit and I can run a fairly smooth system even when there's disk write IO going on...
The patches are available at the usual place:
