2.4.19pre7aa3

Extended changelog for 2.4.19pre7aa3 at
http://home.earthlink.net/~rwhron/kernel/andrea/2.4.19pre7aa3.html

Another new page is benchmarks on the latest releases from various kernel trees:
http://home.earthlink.net/~rwhron/kernel/latest.html

The "latest" page will get updated very regularly. The purpose of the "latest" page isn't to say kernel X is better than Y. It may be useful for people who like to experiment with patches, hunting for what gives a kernel it's edge. Each kernel excels in different areas.

If there are any hunters out there, you may want to look at the pages by tree and the big page too. Some of the tests vary between runs, and others are pretty consistent.

Have fun.

Hi,

How can I expicitly block a thread in kernel? For example, I can use wake_up_process(task) to wakeup (and put to runqueue). How to block task, if I do not want it to run? Thanks a lot
