Yes, but not yet publicly available. I use quilt to keep the patch

so) to make it easier for me to cope with changes in the kernel. When I

Of course, if your eager to start right away I could make the
2.6.17-rc4-mm1 one available?
Well a piecewise patchset does make it a lot easier to see what's going
on, especially if it's got descriptions of each patch along the way.
It's a bit light on descriptions at the moment :-( as I keep putting
that in the "do later" bin.
I'd certainly be interested in having a look through the split out patch
to see how namespaces and this advanced scheduling system might
interoperate.
OK. I've tried very hard to make the scheduling code orthogonal to
everything else and it essentially separates out the scheduling within a
CPU from other issues e.g. load balancing. This separation is
sufficiently good for me to have merged PlugSched with an earlier
version of CKRM's CPU management module in a way that made each of
PlugSched's schedulers available within CKRM's infrastructure. (CKRM
have radically rewritten their CPU code since then and I haven't
bothered to keep up.)
The key point that I'm trying to make is that I would expect PlugSched
and namespaces to coexist without any problems. How it integrates with
the "advanced" scheduling system would depend on how that system alters
things such as load balancing and/or whether it goes for scheduling
outcomes at a higher level than the task.
I'm assuming that you're happy to wait for the next release? That will
improve the likelihood of descriptions in the patches :-).
