Hi
Paolo Valente and Arianna Avanzini, have just now sent us the new I/O scheduler BFQ v7R4 into an mail attachment: as I requested giving the priority to kernels 3.13, 3.10, 3.12, then 3.0 This is an absolute preview! - Infact currently these patches have NOT still been published... In this way I can prepare ASAP the new release of kernel 3.13.11 for OpenMandriva Lx 2014: It should fix a rare issue that may happen with NCQ HDD devices, when these are detected as NOT NCQ capable, all that may lead tonoticeable slowdowns and so many nasty oops... The issue happened rarely, it was reported by few liquorix kernel users to be reproduced and verified it occurred to be injected, now it's fixed... After verifying that all is OK in my PCs, and all is working well for the Kernel 3.13.11-2, I'll apply the same release patches into the kernel 3.10.40for ROSA Fresh R3, and son on for all our supported kernels! ======================= %changelog * Sat May 17 2014 Nicolo' Costanza <[email protected]> 3.13.11-2 + update to 3.13.11 (EOL) - stable - update BFQ to v7r4: it fixes some oops that may happen with some new NCQ HDD devices, it leads other small speed improvements: - 0001-block-cgroups-kconfig-build-bits-for-BFQ-v7r4-3.13.patch - 0002-block-introduce-the-BFQ-v7r4-I-O-sched-for-3.13.patch - 0003-block-bfq-add-Early-Queue-Merge-EQM-to-BFQ-v7r4-for-3.13.0.patch - two lines commented to know what triggers them show up (by TPG request): from: /arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c #debug_putstr("\nDecompressing Linux... ") #debug_putstr("done.\nBooting the kernel.\n") - --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Kernel 3.13 for mdv 2010.2, 2011.0, cooker, rosa.lts2012.0, rosa2012.1 - MIB (Mandriva International Backports) - http://mib.pianetalinux.org/ - The rel (-1) (mainline serie), with official kernel sources and addons, - the rel (-69) will be used for development and experimental flavours, - instead (-70) is born by the -1 % -69 merge, can generate all flavours - Yin & Yang (69) release - it's a very complete kernel flavour sets - --------------------------------------------------------------------- bye, NicCo -
