For the brave:

Try this patch if you want to run Staircase 7.9 on love7.

My process:
Got a 2.6.7 kernel
Patched with mm6
Patched with love7
Reversed mm6-np5 (one hunk fixed)
Applied from_2.6.7-mm6_to_staircase_7.9
Applied schedrange (for mm6)
Applied schedbatch2.2 (for mm6)
Applied schediso2.2 (for mm6)
Applied autoswap (for mm6)
Applied vm_autoregulate2 (for mm6)
Applied default cfq (from ck5)
Applied config_hz (from ck5)
Applied cfq-bad-allocation.fix (from ck5)

In other words, this has the ck5 scheduling goodies on top of love7. It compiles for me, but I haven't been able to test it yet (so only try this if you're brave).

I'm not responsible if this blows up your computer and so on.

Applies on top of love7.

Excellent. I will give that a try when I get home. I see you also got the cfq bad allocation fix in there.

You notice any performance difference with the staircase scheduler?

Well, I haven't tried 7.9 yet (as I said, I haven't been home to test yet. I just compiled through a remote connection

).

I've been using 7.8 or 7.7 (I forget which exactly). Window movement seems a little jerkier, but repainting is better (most things get updated when uncovered, rather than when I stop moving the window). If you don't like that you can renice X to be a little positive and get smoother window movement with delayed repainting.

My big reason for running staircase was to get batch scheduling. I was having problems where some karamba themes would briefly spike my cpu and drop my fps in games, so they'd be jerky. Even running at nice +19 this would happen (with any scheduler). Staircase seemed a little better at this than nicksched, but the real boon is that I can set karamba to run in batch mode, so it only gets run with leftover cpu (instead of a low percentage). That way karamba can't do anything to interfere with quake.

It's not an ideal solution (then again, I've not totally determined why this happens at all), but it seems to work.

Many people report one or the other as being a lot faster, but I haven't noticed a big difference one way or the other.

Dolio - i applied your patch, but it failed to compile with the following:

Dolio · l33t Joined: 17 Jun 2002 Posts: 650

Hmm...

I encountered that same thing last night when I was trying this.

Last night, I made the sources, diffed, and then remade them with my patch. I encountered the error.

Today, I made the sources and compiled and everything worked. So apparently something is wrong with my diffing...

What options should I pass to diff (what do the love guys do)? I've been using -Naur, but I'm open to suggestions.

Edit: Or maybe I'm just not compiling reiser4 today (looking closer at your fix)... I guess further study is needed.

I'm running with the patch I posted earlier with no problems so far.

Reiser4 has problems, it seems, as it doesn't link with my patch. neenee, when you made that change, does it run successfully?

Anyhow, if you're not running reiser4, and you want to use staircase 7.9, this appears to work.

I have problems with my intel8x0 nforce2 audio-chipset.
When booting love6 and love7 it stops after initializing compiled-in alsa.

vertigo: SMP is Symmetric multiprocessing -- if you have multiple processors, you want this.

I was wondering if badram could be reincorporated into love. I tried patching the kernel myself, but got one failed hunk.

Ok, I tried fixing the hunk with my noob skillz. The page-flags.h.rej showed that
