I've just put out version 4 of the scheduler bigpatch.
It is now completely bugfree (guaranteed) and does:
- improve the responsiveness of the system
- add a new scheduling class (SCHED_IDLE) for low-priority
background tasks
- the timeslice of which you can tune through
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_idle
- adds Richard Gooches patch for a separate run queue for
RT processes, decreasing the latency realtime tasks are
experiencing when there are other tasks in the system
The patch is available from my home page.
Rik.
