http://kernel.kolivas.org
Full feature list: am Autoregulates the virtual memory swappiness. domains Sched_domains support for better hyperthreading and SMP support including my smt nice changes stair A complete scheduler policy rewrite for interactivity and responsiveness batch Batch scheduling. iso Isochronous scheduling. cfqioprio Complete Fair Queueing disk scheduler and I/O priorities schedioprio Set initial I/O priorities according to cpu scheduling policy and nice sng204 Supermount-NG v2.0.4 bs314 Bootsplash v3.1.4 reiser4 Reiser4 filesystem cddma DMA for cd audio grsec Greater security (not included in default patch).
Changelog Additions: + Staircase scheduler - my complete scheduler policy rewrite for interactivity built on top of the current O(1) scheduler + CD audio DMA + Grsec (optional only in experimental dir as it breaks compile if disabled)
Changes: ~New batch scheduling (idle scheduling) policy from scratch based on new scheduler is much simpler and less prone to system starvation issues ~New isochronous scheduling (low latency, non real time scheduling for non-privileged users) ~Updated sched_domains ~Updated bootsplash v3.1.4 ~Updated reiser4 snapshot (2004.03.25)
Unchanged: Autoregulated vm swappiness Supermount-NG v 2.0.4 CFQ I/O scheduler with I/O priority support.
This is my parting gesture as I'll be on extended leave from 31st March till the end of May.
