In response to the numerous reports of problems with hibernate AKA suspend to disk, here is a purely experimental patch to apply to bfs443/3.12-ck1 to attempt to address the problem.
bfs443-hibernate_test.patch
Please test and report back!

BFS 0.443, 3.12-ck1
Announcing a resync and update of the BFS CPU scheduler for linux-3.12
BFS by itself:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/3.0/3.12/3.12-sched-bfs-443.patch
CK branded BFS:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/3.0/3.12/3.12-ck1/
Apologies for the delays. I've been swamped by other projects (o.k. I lie, mainly just cgminer). The changes in this new version, apart from the obvious resync with mainline, are some timing fixes courtesy of Olivier Langlois (Thanks!) and a concerted effort to make suspend to RAM/resume work properly.
Enjoy!

BFS 0.441, 3.11-ck1
Announcing a resync and update of the BFS CPU scheduler for linux-3.11
BFS by itself:
3.11-sched-bfs-441.patch
Full -ck1 patchset including separate patches:
3.11-ck1
Apart from the usual resync to keep up with the mainline churn, there are a few additions from BFS 0.440. A number of changes dealing with wake lists as done by mainline were added that were missing from the previous code. There is a good chance that these were responsible for a large proportion of the suspend/resume issues people were having with BFS post linux 3.8. Of course I can't guarantee that all issues have been resolved, but it has been far more stable in my testing so far.
The other significant change is to check for throttled CPUs when choosing an idle CPU to move a process to, which should impact the behaviour and possibly throughput when using a scaling CPU governor, such as ondemand.
Those of you still using the evil proprietary Nvidia binary driver (as I still do) will encounter some issues and will need to use a patched pre-release driver from them if you build it yourself, until they release a new driver.
That is all for now.
Enjoy!

Lrzip 0.616
Due to some issues with lrztar, I've posted an updated lrzip with a fixed lrztar.
Version 0.616 is now up, and should appear here soon:
https://freecode.com/projects/long-range-zip
This post will likely be overshadowed by the next one I'm about to post.
Enjoy!
