Aha, I will try and hopefully obtain success later today. Thank you for that clarification :).

Honestly which patches do you recommend I use on a basic minimalist gentoo ultrabook setup. I have an i7 with 16 gigs of ram, no swap, and an ssd. I was trying to use those 3 patches because they seemed like they would make the system a little more responsive. It's already pretty responsive but I wanted to play around with this and see what comes out of it.

My /etc/portage/kernel.conf is:

Code:
GEEKSOURCES_PATCHING_ORDER="rt ck bfq"

Because on "rt" no point in "ck".
And pay attention the kernel is 3.6.2 and rt patch from 3.6.1.

Thanks for that clarification. I'm using rt and bfq now. I'm still pretty naive in this area though, I'm assuming I didn't have to do anything other than change preempt to rt and scheduler to bfq in the kernel. I'm surprised there aren't more people posting on here, I remember the days when nitro sources were pretty popular and all the other patchsets people used to make.

ZFS is a pain for me. Interestingly of course but I do that with him just experimenting. But I'll try to fix it.


This would have been much easier for you had you asked me for help. You should apply this patch to your overlay:

Code:
diff --git a/eclass/kernel-geek.eclass b/eclass/kernel-geek.eclass
index d66c091..c36a6ac 100644
--- a/eclass/kernel-geek.eclass
+++ b/eclass/kernel-geek.eclass
@@ -217,7 +217,7 @@ featureKnown() {
                        zfs_url="http://zfsonlinux.org"
                        HOMEPAGE="${HOMEPAGE} ${zfs_url}"
                        RDEPEND="${RDEPEND}
-                               zfs?    ( >=sys-fs/zfs-0.6.0_rc9-r6 )"
+                               zfs?    ( sys-fs/zfs[kernel-builtin] )"
                        ;;
        esac
 }


Then people who want to use ZFS support from your sources can do:

Code:
echo 'sys-fs/zfs -kernel-builtin' >> /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask
echo 'sys-fs/zfs kernel-builtin' >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo 'sys-kernel/geek-sources zfs' >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge sys-kernel/geek-sources


It might be worth documenting that in ewarn output. I plan to keep that USE flag hard masked because it is only safe when ZFS is part of your kernel sources.

so? So Install the kernel source version 3.5. * and make oldconfig && make prepare
after checking the version in sys-kernel/spl should in theory pass. Do you even read what you wrote a portage?


I committed Linux 3.6 support to portage about 24 hours ago. Patches for 3.6 support had been in development, but I was busy, so I was slow at finalizing them. Sabayon Linux received an early version of the 3.6 support patches from me around the time you made this comment. It looks to me like you are applying the patches that were published on prometheanfire's blog, which are a bit old.

You can patch a kernel locally by doing something like:

Code:
# Select new kernel sources
eselect kernel set <some number>

# Prepare kernel sources
make -C /usr/src/linux modules_prepare

# Integrate SPL
env EXTRA_ECONF='--enable-linux-builtin' ebuild /usr/portage/sys-kernel/spl/spl-0.6.0_rc11-r1.ebuild clean configure
cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/spl-0.6.0_rc11-r1/work/spl-0.6.0_rc11
./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux

# Integrate ZFS
env EXTRA_ECONF='--with-spl=/usr/src/linux --enable-linux-builtin' ebuild /usr/portage/sys-fs/zfs-kmod/zfs-kmod-0.6.0_rc11-r1.ebuild clean configure
cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/zfs-kmod-0.6.0_rc11-r1/work/zfs-kmod-0.6.0_rc11
./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux


You can do git init && git add -A && git commit -m 'Initial' before the SPL integration step to put it under version control and then do git add -A && git commit -a -m 'SPL/ZFS Integration' && git show at the end to get a patch.

Alternatively, you could use an updated version of the patch from my developer webspace:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~ryao/dist/linux-3.6.2-zfs-builtin.patch.xz

It is a snapshot of upstream's master branch at commit c7dfc086297b6e7768e94d1eef3afaa58beeb5ec. It includes stability fixes and performance enhancements that are currently absent in Gentoo's package. I plan to commit 0.6.0_rc11-r2 with the additional stability fixes next week to avoid commiting changes too often. The additional performance enhancements will not be in Gentoo until 0.6.0_rc12 is released, which will likely be in a few weeks. Note that binary kernels built with ZFS support from this patch are not legally redistributable. However, they should be fine for internal use by individuals and organizations.

That patch should theoretically work with Linux 3.7-rc1, provided that you revert the following patch that was applied for no apparent reason:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b8318b01a8f7f760ae3ecae052ccc7fc123d9508.patch

You might also encounter the following issue with Linux 3.7-rc1:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/15/281

The solution for that is to do touch /usr/src/linux-3.7-rc1/include/uapi/linux/irqnr.h.

Lastly, these patches should be under version control rather than blindly fetched. That would ensure that they have proper checksums. linux-3.6.2-zfs-builtin.patch.xz has f39acfbb4a720a7eb5b84cb1bac13de7 as its md5 checksum.

FYI actual 3.6.2 rt tries to fetch patch-3.6.1-rt1.patch.xz while in the mean time they updated to patch-3.6.1-rt2.patch.xz.

Might be useful to use a mechanism which tries to load the current patch if applicable.
Also for me 3.5.4 it skips all the patches, I'm using funtoo if that means anything.

All the virtualbox modules would freeze during bootup, and I had to resort to going back to a non realtime kernel. I looked it up and virtualbox should be compatible with realtime kernels?

that's exactly what I'm talking about. how to keep track of all versions of all patches and for all kernel?

Might be a long shot, but I'd look at the way portage does it for ebuilds. It seems to do a good job of using the most recent ebuild and when it comes does come down to it if not for masks and other checks it just uses filenames. Regex?
Maybe even error from from the patch executable to provide some sanity checks. Would not handle all cases though, but still most things should be covered :)

You might also look at the debian-sources ebuild from funtoo and how they do it, in particular it also has a rt use flag.



Oh btw thanks for bringing back zfs, really appreciate it. :)

With great difficulty. This is precisely why I decided against creating sys-kernel/zfs-sources.

Add sys-kernel/geek-sources-3.5.3 and now mask - for now bump only mageia.
ck, VServer, fbsplash in >=3.6.2 for me look terrible. I wish I know why fbsplash not apply correctly.

Hey init_6, I just wanted to throw a quick but big "Thank you" at you for your efforts and work! I am using your kernel right now, and it works like a charm. BFS+BFQ+uksm really make a difference on my laptop. :)
Thank you for making this possible!

hi init_6, i see you're maintaining a 3.4 branch with latest minor versions (3.4.19 as now) and i wonder if you noticed that at least ck and ice use flags are useless on this ebuild because both patch-sets fails to apply.
i know your policy is just to skip patches that not apply correctly but then i don't see the point of offering an half broken 3.4.19 ebuild...
ck-sources has bfs patches that applies correctly on latest 3.4 kernels, and well... for tuxonice i don't really know if somebody cared to port the patch-set to the 3.4.19 kernel...

 * Applying patch-3.4-ck3.bz2 ...
 * Skipping patch --> patch-3.4-ck3.bz2                                                                                [ ok ]


For 3.4 I do not see other versions of the ck patch except patch-3.4-ck3.bz2 And this version is used. Change the value of GEEKSOURCES_PATCHING_ORDER and put ck patch first. Or/And check the same patch on sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-3.4.19… If this problem persists, write to bugzilla.kernel.org or itself CK

TuxOnIce use patch 3.4.13 on 3.4.19… sad

Code:
 * TuxOnIce - http://tuxonice.net
 * Applying tuxonice-kernel-3.4.13.patch.xz ...

I think that it is necessary to use actual software. But if you still need this version so make yourself patch for it. Now it is very simple to do. Look at patch_maker.sh

changing the order won't make any difference because the patch breaks on a change made by the 3.4 kernel mantainer between version 3.4.11 and 3.4.13, so i just keep applying patches from kernel.org since geek-sources-3.4.10...
