Patch is against 2.6.8-rc3-mm2 only at this stage due to significant memory management changes in there making it difficult to track Linus' tree as well.

Feedback on the scheduler would be much appreciated, as it might get a run in Andrew's tree soon.

Running great on my Toshiba laptop. No benchmark numbers but I played some DVDs, ogg files, emerged some pacakges. All very smooth.

I am trying to get it patched against rc4-mm1, but it seems there are some issues with the SMT bits - dependent_sleeper for example is still around although it was removed with all previous patches (and uses task_t.time_slice which is no longer there).

I assume you forgot to apply them? Possible to get a complete patch? If not, I'll see if I can get something going after some sleep.

Thanks,

This applied fine here with some tweaking. Removing the nmi fixes from the np patch allowed it to apply just fine with some offsets , but not fuzz.

Yeah, I got it to apply with one small reject I think. I assume you did build it? Do you have CONFIG_SCHED_SMT enabled?

Yeah, I've missed something. Thanks for the report. I'll fix it shortly.
