Perhaps someone who knows CKRM better than I can explain why the CKRM
version in some SuSE releases based on 2.6.5 kernels has substantial
code and some large ifdef's in sched.c, but the CKRM in *-mm doesn't.
Or perhaps I'm confused. There's a good chance that this represents
ongoing improvements that CKRM is making to reduce their footprint
in core kernel code. Or perhaps there is a more sophisticated cpu
controller in the SuSE kernel.
As there is NO CKRM cpu controller in 2.6.13-rc3-mm1 (that I can see)
the one in 2.6.5 is certainly more sophisticated :-). So the reason
that the considerable mangling of sched.c evident in SuSE's 2.6.5 kernel
source is not present is that the cpu controller is not included in
these patches.
Yeah - I don't really consider the current CPU controller code something
ready for consideration yet for mainline merging. That doesn't mean
we don't want a CPU controller for CKRM - just that what we have
doesn't integrate cleanly/nicely with mainline.
I imagine that the cpu controller is missing from this version of CKRM
because the bugs introduced to the cpu controller during upgrading from
2.6.5 to 2.6.10 version have not yet been resolved.
I don't know what bugs you are referring to here. I don't think we
have any open defects with SuSE on the CPU scheduler in their releases.
And that is not at all related to the reason for not having a CPU
controller in the current patch set.
The bugs were in the patches for the 2.6.10 kernel not SuSE's 2.6.5
kernel. I reported some of them to the ckrm-tech mailing list at the
time. There were changes to the vanilla scheduler between 2.6.5 and
2.6.10 that were not handled properly when the CKRM scheduler was
upgraded to the 2.6.10 kernel.
