[Click] [PATCH] patches for linux 2.6.24

[Beyers Cronje]

Sweet Norbert!

I also tested Click multithreading, which also worked, but somehow all the 8
> cores I have in the machine seem to be busy (not all at 100%) even though I
> only have 6 Click threads. However, when I manually assign the threads each
> to a separate core, only 6 cores seem to be loaded (which is normal), so
> this might be somehow related to the Linux scheduler. Do you know whether

> normal or the click patch is more likely to be incomplete?


As of 2.6.13 the kernel now uses the new Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS), so
it is very likely the symptoms you are seeing are related to the new kernel
scheduler and the completely fairness that comes with it :)
