Submission + - End of ck's Linux patchset
sokk writes: The ck-patchset for the Linux kernel has been discontinued. The reasons are mentioned by Con Kolivas in this post: "1. If whatever performance advantage it has is all but abolished compared to mainline then there is no point maintaining alternate patches to achieve the
same endpoint.
2. All interest I have in kernel development, even out of the mainline
spotlight, has been... abolished (I had nastier words but decided not to use
them.)". I've myself used ck's patchset, and it's sad to see it being discontinued. The new CFS scheduler have implemented some of the ideas of ck's scheduler, and will be included in the next kernel release.
