This version is also available for 2.6.32 and 2.6.31. http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/ Apart from resyncing with the new kernel, the changes in this version since the last announced version 0.316 are minor only: Making the rise in rr_interval with increasing CPUs smaller, for lower latencies on multicore/smp machines. Any decrease in throughput with this change was below the margin of noise in my basic testing, and if there was a drop in throughput it would be worth it for latency reasons. Minor fixes to prevent a warning when sched debug is enabled. Enjoy -- -ck
