These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness with specific emphasis on the desktop, but configurable to any workload.
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.9/2.6.9-ck2/patch-2.6.9-ck2.bz2
web: http://kernel.kolivas.org all patches: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/ Split patches and a server specific patch available.
Added: +mwII-oc.diff Linking hardmaplimit to overcommit is no longer required as hardmaplimit is not set by default, and there was a compile problem with modules. This backs it out.
+back-sched-net-fix-scheduling-latencies-in-__release_sock.patch Something about this patch from the low latency hacks in combination with -ck causes a panic on nmap with some hardware (only on -ck). Remove it for now.
+ll-config1.diff Change the default low latency config options to have the debug off by default.
+fix-bad-segment-coalescing-in-blk_recalc_rq_segments.patch A bugfix for i/o scheduler which improves performance under heavy i/o load.
+vm-pages_scanned-active_list.patch A nasty bug that caused kswapd to get stuck consuming heaps of cpu which was in mainline 2.6.9 was tracked down by some of my users (thanks!) and fixed by Nick Piggin (thanks!).
+269ck2-version.diff Version
Removed: -ll-config.diff This disabled preempting the BKL which actually seems quite safe on further testing.
