Hi Vincent,
Hi Lukasz,
I still need to get figures for the cover letter of the V3 of packing small tasks patches. Nevertheless, the patches series is available here: http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/vingu/kernel.git%3Ba=shortlog%3Bh=refs...
Thanks for sharing code. I will look to it (and test) and provide feedback.
Hi Lucasz,
I have just found that a part of the 1st patch of packing small tasks (Revert "sched: Introduce temporary FAIR_GROUP_SCHED dependency for load-tracking") has disappeared during my rebase and push on my git tree. The consequence is that the branch sched-pack-small-tasks-v3 only working if CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is set in your kernel. I have pushed a new branch with the fixed http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/vingu/kernel.git%3Ba=shortlog%3Bh=refs...
Regards, Vincent
I will send the patchset to LKML as soon as I will have got all figures of my tests on various platform
Regards, Vincent

Dear All,
I'd like to ask about the power aware scheduler development:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-power-kernel/+spec/power-aware- scheduler
Why I'm interested?
I'd like to test and further develop methods to put CPU to IDLE or changing its operating frequency. I'm especially interested in packing as much as possible tasks to a CPU and put the other one to deep idle (RFTS - policy). I'm also curious how aggressive SCHED_POLICY_POWERSAVING is going to be? (are there any special requirements)
I'm going to release a v3 of packing small tasks patches this week
In the above page at the "Work items 2013.01" section states that there is a work TODO in the "max_power and current_power" for DVFS.
Could you share code (if available) and plans for this development?
This step of the blueprint is not already done but there are RFC patch from Chris Redpath about frequency scaling invariance that could interest you http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/big.LITTLE/mp.git%3Ba=commit%3Bh=6af10694...
Vincent
I've looked to the:
git://git.linaro.org/arm/big.LITTLE/mp.git tree (branch: power-aware- scheduling-v4), but didn't find the power related code (especially DVFS).
Probably I've looked at wrong place, so any guidance would be appreciate.
As a side question:
On the linaro-dev mailing list there are some patches for tuning cpufreq governor. Is there any roadmap for this effort?
