[REQEST]: Compile kernel with "sched_autogroup_enabled" patch

[odejoy]

Has anyone tried compiling a custom kernel (from git source), with the "sched_autogroup_enabled" patch on the current (fully updated) maverick meerkat?

If so, will the brave soul please share their experience and how they did it.

The reason I am interested in it is due to the fantastic desktop responsiveness gains.

Thanks!

I am also really interested in this patch!
Hope someone manages to create a stable generic x64 kernel with this

Done Not in a x64 environment, but i386.

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled 
1
# uname -a
Linux MonteCarlo 2.6.35-23-tty #40-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 19 22:58:39 EST 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

I'll write up an article on how I did it this weekend. During patching some of the hunks failed and one file is in a different directory as apposed to 2.6.37. I'll offer the new patch on my site as well.

Does it work? I have no idea, I haven't done any comparison with the old setup.

There is a typo in your article.

skipabi=true skipmodule=true fakeroot debian/rules binary-core2

should be

skipabi=true skipmodule=true fakeroot debian/rules binary-tty

I fixed the article.
