Kernel 3.14 finally arrives in its complex nrj & nrjQL flavours, for ROSA and OpenMandriva Linux OSes!
This is the very first version of "nrj/nrjQL" stable 3.14.x, in its early development stage,
so, it's released only for Beta testing purposes,
please, don't use this srpm if you are a newbie, because maybe is still to fix all over!!!
Kernel 3.14.6 - http://lwn.net/Articles/601722/
Since version 3.14.6 we use the new major version of BFQ v7r5
read more about BFQv7r5:
viewtopic.php?p=23575#p23575Hi,
here is a first good side effect of our effort for getting bfq merged into mainline
Two developers reported a regression with two git tasks, which gave us the opportunity to further improve throughput boosting with the workloads generated by these tasks. The result is this v7r5.
As of now, Arianna has prepared patches only for 3.13.0-3.15.0, but we have decided to share with you these patches even before also the other ones are ready.
Paolo
- IMPROVEMENT: Improve throughput boosting by idling the device
only for processes that, in addition to perform sequential I/O,
are I/O-bound (apart from weight-raised queues, for which idling
is always performed to guarantee them a low latency).- IMPROVEMENT: Improve throughput boosting by depriving processes
that cooperate often of weight-raising.- CODE IMPROVEMENT: Pass of improvement of the readability of both
comments and actual code.

VMWare virtualization
We have noticed that Kernel 3.14 did not work with the VMWare virtualization
we are searching for a solution to be applied directly to the vmware sources...
