Sorry for delayed response but i just find some free time, do you
still want me to test mainline + "parent-runs first" patch or will i
drop that one and test v2 which can change default behaviour?
i suspect for now it would be sufficient if you could check the v2
patch.

if it _works_, please try this:

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_child_runs_first

this should break Kaffeine again :)

(if it doesnt work then the Kaffeine problem is unrelated to
child-runs-first.)

OK, i tested both plain -rc7 and -rc7 + CFSv2 with while sched_child_runs_first enabled/disabled.

I'm always using same video file and try to reproduce freeze with constantly pressing forward/backward buttons. With CFS 2-3 forward/backward attempt reproduces this behaviour.

And here are the results.

Mainline still has no issues with both xine-lib/kaffeine and xine-ui (kaffeine-0.8.4, xine-lib-1.1.5 [both xcb enabled], xine-ui-0.99.4). I really try hard to reproduce the freeze, but i can't...

And CFSv2 still fails for both child_runs_first and parent_runs_first cases with same strace output (FUTEX_WAIT).

I have the same problem here ( same packages ).

Even VLC if I go forward/backward and then play again its start to ramdom freeze here but only for 1 - 2 seconds maybe.


If you want me to test something else just ask please :)

Cheers
