Still problems with ULE

2003-02-10 Thread Kris Kennaway
I gave ULE another try just now, following your recent commits, and
I'm seeing even worse problems:

At boot time when the X server is loading, disk activity occurs
briefly about once every 2 seconds; the mouse is active briefly at the
same time, and nothing much else happens for about a minute until the
entire system deadlocks.

Very weird.  Is this on UP or SMP?  I'm still working on a couple of
issues with ule.  I think I am very happy with the dynamic priority
selection now but in the process the slice size selection got kinda dirty.
Its pretty much bug for bug compatible with the old scheduler's context
switching decisions but the errors there are more serious with this
design.  I also think the max slice size is way too high now.  I was
experimenting with that and I accidentally checked it in.

I think I know what the remaining problems are.  I'll make a post on
current@ when they're all sorted out.

Thanks for testing!

Cheers,
Jeff

I'm seeing some of the same with sources from about 90 minutes ago. UP
system, loading X is a pain. Interactivity is somewhat alright up until
I start a compile, at which point the system goes down on it's
knees. It hasn't completely deadlocked (yet?), but it's pretty much
unusable if anything intensive is happening.

This is on UP.  I can still break into DDB, so let me know if you want
me to run console tests (no serial console though).
