| ogra_ | ppisati, whats that about dropping arm board support ? | 09:46 |
|---|---|---|
| ogra_ | (why dont you just leave them idle ... so people can potentially use them) | 09:46 |
| ppisati | ogra_: because we don't need them | 09:50 |
| ogra_ | well, users might use them :) | 09:50 |
| ppisati | ogra_: if we find someone actually using them, they can send a req to turn them on again | 09:51 |
| ogra_ | that would save them from having to roll their own | 09:51 |
| ppisati | ogra_: we already have enough dead crap in it | 09:51 |
| ogra_ | heh, ok | 09:51 |
| rtg | ppisati, aren't these for platforms that don't support LPAE ? | 09:52 |
| ppisati | rtg: both of them | 09:52 |
| rtg | ah | 09:52 |
| ppisati | rtg: in the lpae case we just support calxeda and vexpress a15 | 09:52 |
| ppisati | rtg: for the non-lpae case, we support omap3/4, imx, calxeda and vexpress | 09:53 |
| ppisati | if anyone is willing to support (aka test) exynos5, st, omap5, etcetc i'm happy to turn them on | 09:53 |
| * ogra_ thinks am43xx (beaglebone) would be more intresting than omap3 | 09:54 | |
| ogra_ | omap5 devices are rare and hard to find | 09:54 |
| ogra_ | (was born dead after omap4 was discontinued) | 09:54 |
| ppisati | ogra_: don;t you have an exynos5 laptop? | 09:55 |
| ppisati | ogra_: are you willing to test a kernel? | 09:55 |
| ogra_ | yes as my main work machine with a highly hacked up GLES setup | 09:56 |
| ppisati | ah, right | 09:56 |
| ogra_ | dont really want to risk that | 09:56 |
| ppisati | the GL bound... | 09:56 |
| ogra_ | yeah | 09:56 |
| ppisati | :( | 09:56 |
| ogra_ | i would have said ask hrw, but he is all fedora now | 09:57 |
| ppisati | fedora? | 09:57 |
| ogra_ | EH hired him | 09:57 |
| ogra_ | *RH | 09:57 |
| * ppisati thinks should ask to expense one and add exynos5 support to out generic multiplatform kernel | 09:57 | |
| ogra_ | ++ | 09:57 |
| ogra_ | you should really have a chromebook | 09:57 |
| ppisati | well, problem is that they were talking about a refreshment soon, so i was waiting for that to happen | 09:58 |
| ogra_ | enoxys5 + USB 3.0 + 2GB = priceless | 09:58 |
| ppisati | ah, and i would go for a GL-less kernel :) | 09:58 |
| ogra_ | my last refreshment paid for 3 ac100s and the chromebook :) | 09:59 |
| ogra_ | (well, technically i got one ac100 for free) | 09:59 |
| ppisati | ogra_: i mean refreshment of the chromebook line | 09:59 |
| ogra_ | ah | 09:59 |
| ogra_ | not sure if they will do an arm one again | 09:59 |
| ppisati | http://gigaom.com/2013/05/31/new-samsung-chromebook-may-use-8-core-chip-for-power-and-performance-boost/ | 10:00 |
| ppisati | it was all over the internet | 10:00 |
| ogra_ | oh, then it must be true :) | 10:00 |
| ppisati | LOL :) | 10:00 |
| * ogra_ goes reading | 10:00 | |

| anon^_^ | Hi, I'm sure this topic has been discussed or covered before, I can't seem to find an answer. Has the kernel team considered including BFQ in a kernel package? possibly in linux-lowlatency? | 21:54 |
| infinity | anon^_^: We build in all the mainline schedulers. There's not much interested in pulling in out-of-tree ones, AFAIK. | 22:56 |
| anon^_^ | inifinity, the main reason I brought it up is there are still some desktop responsiveness issues with deadline and multi-tasking | 22:57 |
| anon^_^ | specifically when initiating and maintaining sustained file transfers | 22:57 |
| anon^_^ | BFQ seems to handle those scenarios well and could be more suitable for desktop use | 22:58 |
| anon^_^ | including BFQ (but not set as default), would at least allow users to switch schedulers and still maintain the use of ubuntu kernel in repo | 23:01 |
| infinity | Convincing zequence to pull it into lowlatency might be an easier sell. Still, maintaining out-of-tree patches can be a pain, especially if we want to move befre BFQ upstream does (he doesn't seem to release patches against RC kernels, for instance) | 23:07 |
| infinity | Honestly, the best answer for everyone is, instead of evangelizing how awesome it is for years, and asking distros to carry it as a patch, get it cleaned up and in mainline. | 23:08 |
| anon^_^ | Unfortunately, my magic wand can't make that happen, but I can petition the ubuntu kernel team | 23:09 |
| infinity | You could also petition upstream. Just sayin'. | 23:09 |
