I agree. In fact I'm pretty sure I said something similar a while ago. Unlike you I didn't do any major changes, certainly none I felt were of general interest.
This could go in 2.7, though, or possibly in 2.6.x depending on how the powers that be feel. I think having the scheduler as a plugin is a win in terms of having whole special-use algorithms. It would have to be done *very* carefully to be sure it didn't add measurable overhead. -- bill davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. - 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/
