Nope, just the 2.6.37.2 tag from git with that on top.

yes, it's some extra work ;)

but could you try whether you get the same error with the tarball from kernel.org ?

linux-2.6.37.2.tar.bz2


perhaps patch or anything gets confused by git ?

I just went through some heavy patch marathon and it seems patch is not so clever after all,

it often leaves stuff out (or in) during applies & reverts :?


edit:

how badly do you want THP (Transparent Huge Pages), btw ?

edit2:

I didn't even know that the transparent huge pages are already included in 2.6.38 - thought they were planned for 2.6.39 :o


so that's the reason 2.6.38 got that boost: THP & Nick's VFS optimizations


edit3:

weird, I just compiled (2.6.37.2_plus_v1_BFS_no-compaction_zcache.patch) and it worked fine - no error message :(


like already written above: please try to apply it to the plain tarball - whether that makes a difference :idea:


could you check the md5sum whether it's correct ?

to make THP work

* [revert] kswapd changes
* [revert] several patches of ck-patchset

had to be reverted

* includes the "latency problems with memory compaction?" fixes mentioned in Update11

OK, I gave it a try on top of a plain tarball. Same error.

EDIT: it works with BFS disabled... but if I do that I might as well use vanilla 2.6.38.

EDIT2: It worked once I enabled the "hot-plug CPUs" option. Dunno why it breaks without that...

I don't know what you are talking about :?

take a closer look at the first page - especially at the top

or above your post (the 2nd)


there you clearly see that THP (transparent hugepages) patchsets are available

TRY THEM :wink:



edit:

ok, I'm compile-checking those builds again - perhaps I missed something :?

ok,

you tried "2.6.37.2_plus_v1_CFS_thp_V2_pt4_zcache" ?

that is gone now

please try: " 2.6.37.2_plus_v1_CFS_thp_zcache_new.patch"

Works. BFS+THP. fglrx is broken with THP but I don't care about that.

awesome! :)

I'm also not using fglrx - so I can't say anything about that ;)


xf86-video-ati + Evergreen (5850) works great with it

but I spoke too soon - it's very strange but every other
boot, the kerneloftruth patched 2.6.37.2 fails; it's hard
to see any of the boot messages but the first error
appears to be something like:

kernel bug at vmalloc.c

It goes downhill from there

If I use sysrq to reboot, the next time it works ... and so on


what exact kernel patch are you using ?

with the 2.6.37.2_plus_v1_BFS_compaction_TOI.patch I am
getting a weird problem:

every other boot (more or less - it is kind of random) I get
a "kernel bug at vmalloc.c" message and the boot process
is totally corrupted (modules won't load, udev fails etc)

The error occurs - it seems to me - exactly when the kernel
should switch on KMS.

Normally, at that point the console resolution changes and boot
proceeds.

And like I say, about half the time this works, the other half it
doesn't.

Anyone have any idea what could cause this?

My hardware is thinkpad x300,
Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

well, you could try to do it like me:

not compiling in the KMS mode to be default and then manually loading (or let it load) the intel kernel module (dunno what its name is)

that way I don't get the error you mentioned (using radeon)

afaik I also got it when KMS was enabled by default and the kernel would even hardlock at boot - never would make it into init :?

Update14:

BFQ version bump to v2

now working nicely with NCQ :!: 8O

sorry about that

I get the same with seamonkey :(

seems like that revision of transparent hugepages isn't so stable (probably the reason about the issues with 2.6.38* which surely got fixed meanwhile)


I've for now reverted back to the version with compaction since there also appearing some problem (similar) when compiling android & enabling overcommit from time to time


there's also the possibility to use THP on top of vanilla 2.6.37.2 and combining other parts - if you'd like to:

1_2.6.37.2_thp33.patch (258.84 KB)

that's the version I'm using & ported from 2.6.37-rc5

No problem, Chromium's my main browser anyway. It's worth the risk for a few % speedup as I've been doing a lot of stuff with large (600Mpx+) images...

kerneloftruth, are you still going to continue your patchset into version 2.6.38 once it comes out?

Hi raj7095,

probably not - or I'm only going to push out 1 release

currently I need to focus more on studying

thanks

OK, actual THP numbers on Folding@Home 6.34:

BFS no THP: 7m35s per 1%
BFS with THP: 7m19s per 1%

3% or so faster with no manual intervention... and that's on top of the 25% speedup BFS had over CFS already. Not bad.

Hi bingyuan,

sorry to disappoint you

but: no currently study keeps me busy & I like this kernel pretty much

no data corruption and other issues so far

I think I'll stay with it for some time & keep it updated as time permits


besides that I'm also hacking on my phone - so not much time for my Gentoo box - it works nicely anyway ^^

@kernelOfTruth,
that's OK. I have patched Linux-2.6.38 with BFQ-v2, reiser4-2.6.38 and BFS-0.400 myself, now works fine, :-).

Seems that I have some trouble compiling on .38:

Code:
  CC      kernel/sched.o
In file included from kernel/sched.c:2:0:
kernel/sched_bfs.c:3074:5: error: conflicting types for ‘mutex_spin_on_owner’
include/linux/sched.h:368:12: note: previous declaration of ‘mutex_spin_on_owner’ was here
kernel/sched_bfs.c: In function ‘mutex_spin_on_owner’:
kernel/sched_bfs.c:3111:19: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
make[1]: *** [kernel/sched.o] Błąd 1
make: *** [kernel] Błąd 2


But the BFS 400 patch applied cleanly.
