I'd suggest people here take a look at the code. It's not what Ingo was saying, and it's not what the code is set up to do. He's just stating that the way he split up the files, it's actually easier from a patching standpoint to just create a new file to include instead of "kernel/sched_fair.c". But quite frankly, I've seen a lot of totally stupid flamage, and very little actual sense in this discussion. People probably didn't even look at the patches. Did you? For example, how hard is it for people to just admit that CFS actually does better than SD on a number of things? Including very much on the desktop. Ingo posted numbers. Look at those numbers, and then I would suggest some people could seriously consider just shutting up. I've seen too many idiotic people who claim that Con got treated unfairly, without those people admitting that maybe I had a point when I said that we have had a scheduler maintainer for years that actually knows what he's doing. And no, it has never been about "desktop" vs "servers", or similar claptrap. It's been about improving the scheduler. Linus
