Keir has checked the patches in, so if you wait a bit, they should show up on the public repository.

The tool patch is only necessary for adjusting the weight; if you're OK using the default weight, just adding "sched=credit2" on the xen command-line should be fine.

Don't forget that this isn't meant to perform well on multiple sockets yet. :-)

Hi George --

I'm seeing some problems applying the patches (such as "malformed
patch").  If you could send me a monolithic patch in an attachment
and tell me what cset in http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg that it successfully applies against, I will try to give my
workload a test against it to see if it has the same
symptoms.

Also, do I need to apply the tools patch if I don't intend
to specify any parameters, or is the xen patch + "sched=credit2"
in a boot param sufficient?

Thanks,
Dan

Subject: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 0 of 5] Add credit2 scheduler
(EXPERIMENTAL)

This patch series introduces the credit2 scheduler.  The first two
patches
introduce changes necessary to allow the credit2 shared runqueue
functionality
to work properly; the last two implement the functionality itself.

The scheduler is still in the experimental phase.  There's lots of
opportunity to contribute with independent lines of development; email
George Dunlap <george.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> or check out the wiki page
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Credit2_Scheduler_Development for
ideas
and status updates.
