Kernel 3.15.8 for ROSA 2012 2012.1 2014.1 OMV2013 2014 2015

Kernel 3.15.8 for ROSA 2012 2012.1 2014.1 OMV2013 2014 2015

Kernel 3.15.8 for ROSA 2012lts, rosa2012.1, omv2013.0, omv2014.0, rosa2014.1 and cooker (omv2015.0)
This is the third version of our kernel 3.15 in its complex nrj & nrjQL flavours, for ROSA and OpenMandriva Linux OSes!

Kernel 3.15.8 - http://lwn.net/Articles/607349/
Since version 3.15.6 we use the new major version of BFQ v7r5

read more about BFQv7r5:
viewtopic.php?p=23575#p23575
Hi,
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.
  • 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.

Hello, I can not find kernel 3.15.7 or 3.15.8 for OpenMandriva 2014 x64. Will it be?

You are right,
thanks for Your signalation!


http://abf-downloads.rosalinux.ru/kerne ... epository/

ABF said me that all builds have been published, I verified and are all really published but omv2014...

I have pushed again to publish (nothing to do...), I'll inform ABF maintainer about the issue


if the files for omv2014.0 are not published, you can ever download the rpms and install
omv2014 x86_64 > https://abf.rosalinux.ru/build_lists/2087944
omv2014 i586 > https://abf.rosalinux.ru/build_lists/2087939

another more complete flavour build is in progress, the rpms will be ready for tomorrow morning
but I fear that ABF will be not publish them too... let's get the needed files, one by one :) !

Suspend/Resume, Hibernate/Resume works on 3.15.8-1 nrj-laptop, nrjQL-laptop, nrjQL-desktop 2012.1 i586, but on my laptop from the begining of nrjQL after Resume mouse pointer is missing and must restart X server, cause that i use nrj instead of nrjQL.

I have the same problem since 3.14.9. series.
I have Acer E1-522 cpu AMD A6-5200 video Radeon hd8400.
With njrQL when suspend not close the wifi connection with njr yes, maybe some script is not launched with njrQL.

Bye.

Your wifi is an Atheros one?

If so, I inform you about one unresolved issue between bfs scheduler and ath9k when resume;
the problem should exists with different trouble levels since k 3.13, while k 3.12 is not affected,
this issue with bfs/ath9k/toi is currently under active investigation...

Someone is trying this solution, enabling powersave, that atheros has disabled by default

Code: Select all

modprobe ath9k ps_enable=1
iw dev wlp1s0 set power_save on
For someone is working, for others this works only for the first resume, not since the 2th

try this workaround and tell me what happens...

For the second command this is my output:

# iw dev wlp1s0 set power_save on
command failed: No such device (-19)

that was the commands suggested for another distro, i copied here for you from a discussion,
perhaps simply changing the device name, while "dev" is not necessary and can be omitted

to see the current config

Code: Select all

iw wlan0 info
to change

Code: Select all

iw wlan0 set power_save on
to see the current config

Code: Select all

iw wlan0 info


I imagine that the first row

Code: Select all

modprobe ath9k ps_enable=1
it should be enough to enable the PS and try a suspend/resume, to see what happens

bye

Only with:

Code: Select all

modprobe ath9k ps_enable=1
not work, i think that this option is already enable, since working with njr (only frist time in my case :-( )
with the second comand i have:

Code: Select all

# iw wlan0 set power_save on
command failed: Operation not supported (-95)

Code: Select all

# iw wlan0 info
Interface wlan0
        ifindex 2
        wdev 0x1
        addr 28:e3:47:3a:89:ee
        type managed
        wiphy 0
        channel 1 (2412 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2412 MHz
