Changes: Added: +sched-iso_tunables.patch Add a tunable in /proc/sys/kernel/iso_cpu to allow you to set the amount of= =20 cpu that SCHED_ISO tasks run realtime.

This makes the=20 decision when to prefetch far more intelligent, the cost of the code much=20 cheaper on SMP/preempt, fixes bugs, and substantially decreases the risk of= =20 the code causing out-of-memory conditions. The code is very safe and stable= =20 and quite effective. The incidence of regressions has dropped dramatically= =20 now but it still does need more testing. Removed: =2Dper-task-predictive-write-throttling-1.patch This patch is causing as yet not well understood problems with I/O pauses s= o=20 it has been removed till it is developed and tested further in -mm.
