Hello, I was wondering if Red Hat had any plans to integrate the on-demand timer patch into their kernel. Presently, the patch won't work with RH's kernel. I only bring this up because I have recently been inundated by documents that co-workers brought back from SHARE, primarily from Velocity Software, asserting that without this patch a s390 cannot scale beyond 300 linux images (due to the .3% processor utilization of an 'idle' image). Although 300 images is quite alot, I hate to be saddled by any unnecessary limitations. I realize that we could roll our own kernel, but we'd like to stick with RH's if at all possible. This, of course, begs the question as to whether or not the timer issue will ever be addressed in the stock kernel tree. Michael Lambert
