Yocto builds and job server?

Hi Martin,

Do you keep your job server patch up to date?
If so, can you push it to poky-contrib or share it some other way?

Now that we're closer to stabilizing the fall release, I'd like to work 
on and help get that merged
early in the next development cycle.

Context for those interested:

Yeah, just today, one of our internal shared builders with 16 cores /
32 threads ran with a load of "204,19, 170,18, 106,53", so it
definitely makes sense to dig out the jobserver patches.

I will give it a spin in one of the coming weeks. Thanks for reminding
me!

Yikes, are you using BB_PRESSURE_* or limiting builds using
the threads/jobs variables at all?

You can also see:
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/dev-manual/limiting-resources.html

it may help with these different variables.
