Please consider these for inclusion in -mm tree. -- Patch descriptions: 1/6: numtasks_init Hooks up with Resource Groups core by defining the basic alloc/free functions and registering the controller with the core. 2/6: numtasks_tasksupport Adds task management support by defining a function to be called from fork() to see if the resource group is within its share allocation Sets interface to be called from core when a task is moved to a resource group. 3/6: numtasks_shares_n_stats Sets interface to be called from core when a resource group's shares are changes or when stats are requested. 4/6: numtasks_config Use module parameters to dynamically set the total numtasks and maximum forkrate allowed. 5/6: numtasks_forkrate Adds support to control the forkrate in the system. 6/6: numtasks_docs Documents what the numtasks controller does and how to use it. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chandra Seetharaman | Be careful what you choose.... - sekharan@us.ibm.com | .......you may get it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
