What's the status with the IO controller? Got an ETA?
The same one which was released with e16 is going to be released mid-next week (against a 2.6.11 variant).
I don't have any reliable ETA for a version that is work-conserving. The project priorities currently are (in order)
- getting the base code (e16/e17) released to lkml which addresses all feedback from the previous lkml posting.
- getting the already working versions of memory and I/O controller out
- documentation on how to write a controller, classtype interfaces and update of the design doc which is quite out of date now.
- new I/O controller which satisfies your work-conservation requirements
- CPU scheduler fixes
Next week I am going to work on the e17 based CPU scheduler. I think it has some problems, which might be addressed by fixing the bug that Peter Williams pointed out. However, I think there might be some deeper problems. Who these days is taking over the maintenance of this scheduler?!
I will be taking over from Hubertus. Haoqiang will continue to assist as best as he can. We'll try to respond as fast as we can to any problems you may find.
Can you give me an idea as to when there will be further documentation on the development of classes and controllers. Even something as simple as to their basic difference would be welcome right now.
Sometime next week for how to write a controller and what the classtype interfaces are.
Thanks, Shailabh
