[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH 0/11] powerpc/spufs: Updated gang scheduling

[Andre Detsch]

These patches correspond to the latest version of the gang scheduling 
implementation. The new scheduler is, of course, not as stable as the current 
one, but basic testcases already work, and the effects of gang scheduling are 
already noticeable.

The patches apply on top of 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jk/spufs.git

The first 9 patches are an updated version of Luke's patches, sent in March 
(http://oldpatchwork.ozlabs.org/cbe-oss-dev/patch?id=17362 -> 
http://oldpatchwork.ozlabs.org/cbe-oss-dev/patch?id=17370). No structural 
changes were needed on those. Only rebasing and fixes here and there.

The other two patches (10 and 11) are related to:
- A locking fix, kept as a separate patch in order to make it easy to blame 
this change if some regression appears.
- New SPU affinity implementation, on top of the new scheduling algorithm. 
This is a first version, likely to change, but it already passes basic 
affinity tests.

Comments are welcome, as usual.

Cheers,
