I still should _not_ be spending extended periods on the computer for my neck but this last change was I believe essential and not too much effort. Here's an update which should improve behaviour further with niced tasks. http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/staircase-deadline/2.6.20.5-sd-0.40.patch http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/staircase-deadline/2.6.21-rc6-sd-0.40.patch http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/staircase-deadline/2.6.21-rc6-mm1-sd-0.40.patch The last patch (which is for 2.6.21-rc6-mm1) can be used as an incremental from any 0.39 patched kernel. Pretty much all of the architectural stuff for SD and bugfixes are done now. Barring bugs/fixes, I plan to start work on implementing SCHED_ISO and SCHED_IDLEPRIO for it for -ck over the next few weeks, but only once I'm _completely_ well, meaning extended periods offline again (sorry to those who are emailing me I'm not ignoring you intentionally!). -- -ck
