Hi. I'm running kamikaze3 and everything works great.
How come is cpuidle new patch? It is in kamikaze3 also. With it (menu governor) my cpu finaly goes into c3 while using wlan.

I'll stick with kamikaze3, since I don't have a laptop, and no HRTIMERS means no dynticks as well. In my AMD64 dynticks work just fine.

dynticks landed in 2.6.21 but only for i386. x86_64 dynticks was supposed to land in 2.6.22 but didn't and it seems not to land in 2.6.23 either.

Nice work!
I'm testing now with the 'official' reiser4 for 2.6.22: http://lwn.net/Articles/242582/ Looks good so far...Thanks!

Working great here, I was having some issues with kamikaze3 on my amd64 machines (X freezing after some moderate to heavy usage)... anyways all is well now. Cheers

Waninkoko, could you please create a .tar.bz2 file for your broken-out files in the future it's sometimes a real hassle downloading several files if the server is overloaded or during other circumstances

many thanks in advance & thanks again for your great patchset

O.K. I'm done with kamikaze4 !
I've encountered system freeze, once again... X was frozen and only blinking keyboard leds... The very same situation as I had with kamikaze2 and 3 with intensive workload - amarok + quanta + apache + mysql + opera + firefox + emerge running at nice 15. I suspect that it's the very same bug as with previous releases and it may have something to do with CFS or hrt. The last time I've managed to catch some panic logs on console it was spiting something about sched_atomic stuff...

As soon as I'm done with reiserfsck I'm gonna see if there were some logs saved...
I will better stay with less experimental patchset

or switch back to some 2.6.21-ck series - if there is still anything usable left on my system partition...
P.S. kind a weird felling writing post from console (links2)

EDIT: not a single panic nor bug log in /var/log

If you froze with kamikaze4, it's not the hrtimers, since that release is devoid of that patch. Have no clue what could be happening.

Well, it could be.... CFS? :twisted:

Seriously though, on some heavy loads you do get crashes sometimes - both with SD and CFS (at least on my computer) [and much much more crashes on current mainline]. The sad thing is, you can't file a bug to say so. "Hey Linus, I have some crashes sometimes when under heavy load. Sorry, no logs..."

Edit: Although I strongly suspect the problem is somewhere in the IO scheduler and the way it handles load... (on single CPU machines)

Could you add acer_acpi patch in next release? http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-acpi%40vger.kernel.org/msg07820.html
It works great on my laptop, and now i can change brightness via hal and kpowersave.

Hi Waninkoko

well, sorry to trouble you, but X still freezes. how I can help you with diagnostic? I don't finde any error messages or logfiles. After X froze I still can go to the console AND I still can kill X with <Ctrl><Alt><Backspace>. The content of the windows still refreshs. But I can't type nor click .

I really like to help because your patchset ist really great. by the way: kamikaze3 feels more smooth than kamikaze4 does. On the other side kamikaze4 doesn't skip sound when I move windows, but kamikaze3 does sometimes.

best regards
are

Linux-PHC Options seems to be missing (tested on i386 and x86_64)
