Patchset update.
These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness with specific emphasis on the desktop, but configurable to any workload.
Web site with faq: http://kernel.kolivas.org Patches: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-ck1/
Added since 2.6.7-ck6:
+sched-adjust-p4gain tiny p4HT nice handling optimisation +1g_lowmem_i386.diff Allows 1Gb of ram to be used without enabling highmem +kiflush1.diff A slow cache clearing memory defragmenter for desktop (see web page faq); *Rather unorthodox and orthogonal thing to do but is beneficial on the desktop*. +token-thrashing-control.patch Rik's swap-thrash control patches +*latency* A number of low latency hacks from Andrew Morton
Changed: ~from_2.6.8.1_to_staircase7.I Staircase scheduler updated to latest ~schediso2.5.diff Tiny sched_iso change for optimal compatibility with s7.I ~hard_swappiness1.diff A tiny relaxation of the "hard swappiness" algorithm to allow mapped pages to swap out below the vm_swappiness watermark if extreme memory pressure is occurring (prevents oom).
Merged: ~cfq1.fix ~cfq2.fix ~cfq3.fix ~cfq-bad-allocation2.fix ~crq-fixes.diff ~1100_ip_tables.patch ~1105_CAN-2004-0497.patch ~1110_proc.patch
Removed: -bootsplash-3.1.4-sp3-2.6.7.diff Framebuffer code changed too dramatically and code getting difficult (ie a lot of work) to merge safely in current state.
