I've had numerous requests for a backport of the interactivity changes to the O(1) scheduler for the -ck* kernels. I have resisted posting my backport because people had described real problems with these patches. However it seems most, if not all of the problems are related to one patch.

I've posted a special split out patch (001_o1_int_pe_ll_030407_ck_2.4.20.patch) for ck that includes the new interactivity changes, with the one patch responsible for problems backed out. No desktop tuning patch is supposed to be necessary for this so I've removed it from the site.Note that the full -ck4 patch does not include this update. I would like some feedback from people using it before I make a more substantial update to bring out a -ck5. The patches must be applied manually in order as they're desired. I've been using them for a little while without any problems.

Why isn't this patch completely backed out from the main O(1) so we can see what is new?

ciao, Marc

Is this patch supposed to be against ck3?

see? ;)

Actually, the Makefile hunk in the patch would have one believe that it is against -ck3...

Cheers,

It's a simple minipatch against a 2.4.20 patched with the O(1),preempt,low latency combination which didn't change in ck4.
