I know this has been discussed before, but could a userspace daemon which autotunes the tweakables do a better job wrt. to adapting the kernel behaviour depending on the workload? Just like these days we have irqbalance instead of a in-kernel "irq balancer". It's a alternative worth of look at? - 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/
