Con,
I have been using SCHED_BATCH on two machines now with expected
results. So this you might consider this as another success report :-)
Great. Thanks for the report. I too use them all day every day on each
machine I have with distributed computing clients so they're pretty well
tested.
I forgot to mention about something.
I totally deadlocked my machine just after setting the
/proc/sys/kernel/compute to 1 with
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/computer
The machine is 2x1G p3, and the kernel was SMP and I had experimentally
seti@home running in SCHED_BATCH mode in screen.
It was 2.6.8-rc1 with ck patches from:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.7/2.6.8-rc1/
I used these patches on 2.6.8-rc1 from it (of course in the proper
order:
__cleanup_transaction-latency-fix.patch
crq-fixes.diff
defaultcfq.diff
filemap_sync-latency-fix.patch
from_2.6.8-rc1_to_staircase7.A
