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.
