2.6.7-ck6

Patchset update:

http://kernel.kolivas.org

These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness with specific emphasis on the desktop, but suitable/configurable to any workload. Read details and FAQ on my web page or feel free to email my mailing list with queries.

This version is a recommended performance and bugfix update for those already running ck5. It does not include any of the newer latency hacks etc in 2.6.8-rc* as this version (2.6.7-ck6) is to retain the stability already present in -ck5.

Added:
-cfq1.fix
-cfq2.fix
-cfq3.fix
-crq-fixes.diff
cfq io scheduler bugfixes
-hard_swappiness.diff
Make swappiness simpler and a hard limit

Updated:
-from_2.6.7_to_staircase7.E
Cpu scheduler policy rewrite updated with micro-optimisations and one bugfix which ensures new tasks wake up in the "foreground". -schedbatch2.4.diff
Idle scheduling now supports cpu distribution between batch tasks according to nice and is safe with I/O and held semaphores. -schediso2.4.diff
resync

Deleted:
-autoswap.diff
-vm_autoregulate2.diff
not necessary with hard swappiness

Complete list:

Hi, what happened to the incremental updates, ie ck5->ck6? I don't want to reverse ck5 and then apply ck6, as my kernel is furthermore patched and this complicates stuff...

Cheers,
