I've just completed testing the scheduler bigpatch and
have found it stable enough to re-announce it and hope
for loads of beta testers.
The patch introduces a new scheduling class, SCHED_IDLE,
and makes realtime tasks schedule better.
One of the tests I just did was running 200 (!) cpu
eating loops with SCHED_IDLE priority and then play
a quicktime animation with normal priority. It
worked like a charm and there wasn't even any added
scheduling overhead :)
So come on over and grab the patch from my home page.
It's safe now -- really...
Rik.
