Re: BFS for the power kernel
I'm really sorry for not pushing the BFQ patches. As iDont rightly says, I've been incredibly busy in real life lately :( and that's likely to continue for another week or so yet. I haven't even had...

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v48

Re: [Announce] kernel-power v47
Yes, me.. but it really needs the swap notify patch, which I've shared with pali, but won't appear till v48. Once it's in power, I'll release the hounds debs ;)

Re: MeeGo-Harmattan HE
I'd be interested as to how these figures were calculated - when I ran a diff (minus the Documentation folder, which adds a fair few thousand lines itself, and the debian folder) I got 521,171 lines...

Re: BFS for the power kernel
I've just realised I made a mistake when backporting the code. 2.6.32 and above (which the 'official' BFQ v1 was written for, when the site moved some time in 2009) calls __blk_run_queue() instead of...

Yep, it seems to definitely be loaded. Did you have bfq as the default scheduler for mmcblk0, if so then setting it on mmcblk1 wouldn't change anything in /syspart.. it's also possible that bfqio is...

Re: BFS for the power kernel
Personally I don't think they should be merged, even as and when it becomes completely stable (no distortion in calls etc). This kernel can never be "mainline" for obvious reasons, and most people...

I haven't forgotten, but I had a kernel crash last night upon opening StorageUsage when running BFQ and the bfqio interface - a lovely NULL pointer dereference. Now, it'd be easy to blame the bfqio...

You can always install the dummy package I posted a few pages ago - you don't need the flashable kernel image. But yes, I can make it depend on either bootimg or the kernel package.
