Hi Rafael and others,
Hi,
Since we have moved away from the background timers to scheduler callbacks, should we consider merging the Interactive governor into mainline ?
We may, depending on how it looks like. :-)
It was rejected earlier for few reasons, one of which was that we didn't wanted to add on any new governors before the background timers hack is removed and inputs received from scheduler.
Actually, the last submission did not receive any comments from anyone, so I'd call it lack of interest rather than rejection.
I can try putting some effort to do that, but wanted to check what others feel about it first.
Its getting used for mobile phones using Android for a very long time now.
I think that we'd be better off if the interactive governor was in the tree, so if you have the time to work on it, that's great.
One caveat is that I have some governor API rearrangement in the works and you'd need to rebase your work on top of that. I've just sent two patches, but there's more to come.
