Kernel 3.14.8 for ROSA 2012lts, rosa2012.1, omv2013.0, omv2014.0, rosa2014.1 and cooker (omv2015.0)
Kernel 3.14 finally arrives in its complex nrj & nrjQL flavours, for ROSA and OpenMandriva Linux OSes!
This is the second version of "nrj/nrjQL" 3.14.x, it can be considered complete and stable enough.
Kernel 3.14.8 - https://lwn.net/Articles/602482/
Since previous version 3.14.6 we use the new major version of BFQ v7r5

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.
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.

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...
