Thanks. I've incorporated this patch plus some modifications to the Zaphod scheduler to take advantage of the TASK_NONINTERACTIVE flag into v-5.2 of PlugSched for 2.6.11, 2.6.12-rc6 and 2.6.12-rc6-mm1 kernels. Patches to upgrade v-5.1 to v-5.2 are available at:
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-5.1-to-5.2-for-2.6.11.patch?download> <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-5.1-to-5.2-for-2.6.12-rc6.patch?download> <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-5.1-to-5.2-for-2.6.12-rc6-mm1.patch?download>
I noticed when doing this conversion that I had botched the propagation of your staircase 11.2 patches into the 2.6.12-rc6-mm1 kernel and anyone using the staircase scheduler in that kernel is advised to upgrade to this patch.
