BFS 453/454/455/456 and 3.16-ck2

Here is an updated set of BFS patches with the accumulated bugfixes as debugged on this blog for kernels 3.13 to 3.16 inclusive. The main obvious bug which affected people was the ath9k module which would hang on suspend/resume. However there were likely a number of subtle bugs across the board that most people would not be aware of and even I only noticed that kvm behaved much better after this applied bugfix which stretches back to every BFS after 3.12.

In order to make up for the fact that there are numerous kernels out there based on BFS across the different versions, I have updated BFS and numbered the versions according to which base kernel they are on. Note that there are no feature backports on the older kernels, only the bugfixes, so SMT nice is only on the 3.16 BFS.

3.13-sched-bfs-453.patch
3.14-sched-bfs-454.patch
3.15-sched-bfs-455.patch
3.16-sched-bfs-456.patch

And along with that an updated ck branded release for 3.16, 3.16-ck2:

3.16-ck2

BFS 0.446, 3.13-ck1

Announcing a resync and update of BFS for linux kernel 3.13.x:

Apart from build fixes and synchronisation with new kernel changes, this is only trivially different to BFS 444. A build failure on 445, along with a desire to release only even numbers, prompted version 446.

BFS by itself:
3.13-sched-bfs-446.patch

CK branded BFS:
3.13-ck1


Apologies for the delay, but I simply swamped with my other projects, interests and work.


Enjoy!
