[Nakajima, Jun]

Sorry, that patch was intended for broader tests before we check it out.


As some people pointed out, it needs:


	int result;
+
+	ACPI_FUNCTION_TRACE("acpi_pci_link_try_get_current");
+
	result = acpi_pci_link_get_current(link);
	if (result && link->irq.active) {
 		return_VALUE(result);
 	}

I know; obiously it has not sense to ask that people makes -j25
smooth here; there's no way of doing that (with gcc 3.x :)

I just pointed out that -mm4 was a bit better under that load, specially
mp3 skips.

I just hope 2.6 is shipped with a "decent" scheduler. Mp3 players are
probably the most important apps nowadays :P

I think Martin is right here. I don't know what would be a good reason
for wanting X to work nicely with a make -j25 running. X typically
needs at least 75% CPU on my box to be nicely interactive when moving
a window or scrolling something complex. This gives only 1% to each
cc1.

I am still working on my scheduler. I've removed backboost. It is
hypocritical of me to worry about complexity or difficult traceability
of say Con's implementation when backboost is probably "worse" than
anything he has ;)

So I've found I'm getting more consistent behaviour, but it is now
very dependant on nice to get X running well under load. I'm
concentrating on getting it working well with make -j <= 6.

Without trying to be insulting, don't you think that you might
be expecting too much ?  I have a P4-2.4C (HT) on a i785 board
with 1GB DDR400 memory running dual channel, and if I run two
or three compile jobs at -j12 (more for testing Nick/Con's stuff,
usually use -j[46] and never really more than 2 of 3 of them), I
do not expect everything to be blazing fast.  Yes, while it is
not swapping (rare if ever do swap), I do expect xmms not to
skip, I do not expect the mouse to jerk, and yes I do expect
changing desktops to be fairly smooth and responsive.  I do not
however expect apps to still start with the same speed, or doing
the "window wiggle thing" to still be 100% smooth.

Nick's stuff with X reniced to -10 do fix the "window wiggle"
issue as far as I am concerned, as it is relative smooth (not
croaking like in vanilla), although not 100% as great as Con's,
but then Nick's finish the two make jobs at -j12 faster than
Con's stuff, and fairly close to vanilla (yes not 100% scientific),
and that is what I expect, even though it is a fairly ok machine.

Point I want to make, is that yes, for desktop you want you xmms
to not skip, you window switching to be ok while compiling a new
kernel at make -j[246], but come on, this is like expecting a
mini to out drag a F1 car because you fitted it with a turbo.
Especially when you start to swap heavily, you cannot really
expect the system to be responsive, especially when it is something
that needs to access memory that is swapped, or need to come out
of free swap, or that need to access the disk.

Con/Nick do need feedback, but really, expecting the scheduler to
be nice while your disk/memory is thrashing and whatever also need
a slice of that pie.  Can we try to keep it real ?


Thanks,

SATA mode on the ICH5 really wants to be driven by Jeff Garziks libata
SATA drivers not the ide layer code. The IDE code doesnt currently know

And this worked good with Con's scheduler?

Try both schedulers on the same base (test4), and see if you see similair
differences.

I doubt it's the scheduler that's causing this problem.  Once you get into
swap like that, the scheduler shouldn't affect it too much...

My X server is reniced at -1; but reniced X to -10 and it didn't helped;
-j15 was better (less swapping) but still I saw various mp3 & mouse skips.

This would help X, but regardless mp3 playing should not skip. I think its
giving newly forked children much too high a priority. Basically new 
children
can't get less than 50% sleep time, which is stupid on my behalf because a
program which continually forks children that do a little bit of work then
exit would basically be at 50% sleep time when it should be at or close 
to 0.
