These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity. It is configurable to any workload but the default ck* patch is aimed at the desktop and ck*-server is available with more emphasis on serverspace. THIS INCLUDES ALL THE PATCHES IN 2.6.13.3 SO YOU SHOULD START WITH 2.6.13 TO USE THESE PATCHES Apply to 2.6.13 http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.13/2.6.13-ck7/patch-2.6.13-ck7.bz2 or server version http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.13/2.6.13-ck7/patch-2.6.13-ck7-server.bz2 web: http://kernel.kolivas.org all patches: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/ Split patches available. Changes: Added: +sp11_sp14.patch Swap prefetch version 14. Substantial improvements were done to the swap prefetching code. Numerous locking improvements, better testing of when to prefetch, and most importantly the pinned swapcache bug which would eventually lead to slowdowns and even out-of-memory kills was found and fixed. It is now tunable with the parameter in /proc/sys/vm/swap_prefetch to determine how many blocks of 128kb it will prefetch at a time. The default is set to 2, setting it to 0 disables prefetching, and you can set a high value (such as 1000) to basically prefetch everything it can in one go while the vm is idle. This code is considered safe and I believe stable now.
