These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivi=
ty.=20
It is configurable to any workload but the default ck* patch is aimed at th=
e=20
desktop and ck*-server is available with more emphasis on serverspace.

Apply to 2.6.14
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.14/2.6.14-ck2/patch-2.6.14-ck2.bz2

or server version
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.14/2.6.14-ck2/patch-2.6.14-cks2.bz2

*note name change for server version

web:
http://kernel.kolivas.org
all patches:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/
Split patches available.


Changes:
 The server patch has had its name changed to cks* to support patching with=
=20
ketchup which Matt Mackall has kindly enabled for -ck.

Added:
+sched-staircase12.1_12.2.patch
 A small buglet fix for the staircase cpu scheduler (mostly harmless)

+mm-kswapd_inherit_prio.patch
+mm-prio_dependant_scan.patch
+mm-batch_prio.patch
 These are patches designed to change the way the virtual memory subsystem=
=20
behaves according to the 'nice' level of the task that called it. This has=
=20
some weak influence on how much cpu ram allocation takes, and how quickly i=
t=20
will try to allocate that ram, thus providing some support for 'nice' withi=
n=20
the vm. In the presence of an obscene memory load that was niced this showe=
d=20
some improvement in the time taken to compile a minimal kernel config (2:10=
=20
vs 2:55).


Modified:
=2Dadaptive-readahead-4.patch
+adaptive-readahead-6.patch
 Updated to the latest adaptive readahead code (thanks Wu Fengguang) which=
=20
enables the thrash protection by default and has numerous other enhancement=
s.=20
Please cc him if you have any feedback about it.
