ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test9/2.6.0-test9-mm2/
- Various random fixes. Maybe about half of these are
2.6.0-worthy. - Some improvements to the anticipatory IO scheduler and more
readahead tweaks should help some of those database
benchmarks.
The anticipatory scheduler is still a bit behind the deadline
scheduler in these random seeky loads – it most likely always will
be.
- “A new driver for the ethernet interface of the NVIDIA nForce
chipset, licensed under GPL.”
Testing of this would be appreciated. Send any reports to
linux-kernel or netdev@oss.sgi.com and Manfred will
scoop them up, thanks.
- I shall be offline for a couple of days.
