Can you try the latest -tip tree please: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README There we default to FAIR_SLEEPERS + GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS - which should give much of the new-fair-sleepers advantage. There's also a new tool, 'perf sched', which you can install via: cd tools/perf/ make -j install And use like this to measure latencies in the system: $ perf sched record sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.059 MB perf.data (~2563 samples) ] $ perf sched latency ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Task | Runtime ms | Switches | Average delay ms | Maximum delay ms | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- events/12:47 | 0.007 ms | 1 | avg: 0.054 ms | max: 0.054 ms | events/2:37 | 0.128 ms | 1 | avg: 0.016 ms | max: 0.016 ms | at-spi-registry:3292 | 0.752 ms | 20 | avg: 0.015 ms | max: 0.023 ms | Xorg:3161 | 0.519 ms | 20 | avg: 0.015 ms | max: 0.024 ms | perf:19070 | 21.241 ms | 5 | avg: 0.012 ms | max: 0.019 ms | events/1:36 | 0.009 ms | 1 | avg: 0.009 ms | max: 0.009 ms | hald-addon-stor:2790 | 0.204 ms | 9 | avg: 0.009 ms | max: 0.011 ms | scsi_eh_5:1072 | 0.200 ms | 12 | avg: 0.009 ms | max: 0.009 ms | events/0:35 | 0.007 ms | 1 | avg: 0.008 ms | max: 0.008 ms | ksoftirqd/12:28 | 0.088 ms | 5 | avg: 0.005 ms | max: 0.009 ms | sleep:19071 | 0.668 ms | 3 | avg: 0.005 ms | max: 0.008 ms | migration/13:29 | 0.000 ms | 1 | avg: 0.003 ms | max: 0.003 ms | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL: | 23.824 ms | 79 | --------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Ingo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
