Hi, Con.

Thorsten could you please test to see if this fixes the problem for
you?
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

Against a bash loop:
|# dd bs=1M count=2048 </dev/hdb >/dev/null
|2048+0 records in
|2048+0 records out

Yes! Success! And the crowd goes wild! :-)

I think you finally nailed it. Thank you so much!
No, thank _you_ for bringing it to my attention and testing :)
Should I apply this to staircase in PlugSched?

I plan to make staircase v15 which is just this change, which would then need to be resunc with plugsched. Unfortunately this needs code in account_system_time which is not open to the schedulers in plugsched currently so it needs more plugsched code to go in. I suspect other schedulers may want to hook into this function, but I know you're currently busy with smp nice to hack this in. I may look at doing it myself when I have time if you don't have time.

OK. I'm currently porting PlugSched to 2.6.16-mm2 which requires adding priority inheritance to each scheduler. I'm modifying staircase and nicksched myself but would appreciate a code review after I release it.
