Christopher M. Penalver: are you going to tell all the 165 people that
are affected by this bug to open a new bug report for the same issue
which is not even hardware related?

If you just took a minute you could test this bug yourself instead of
require us to do all that work to test the latest mainline kernel.

I think you are just mass closing linux kernel related bugs that are
still valid and affect many people. Some of them have upstream bug
reports which indicate that no actual work has been done to address
those issues. So why do testing? Even if someone does the testing most
likely no work will be done by downstream to fix the issue. So what's
the point? I think doing what you're doing is just making more harm than
good.

Title:
  Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in The Linux Mint Distribution:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

  When compared with 2.6.15 in feisty, heavy disk I/O causes increased
  iowait times and affects desktop responsiveness in 2.6.22

  this appears to be a regression from 2.6.15 where iowait is much lower
  and desktop responsiveness is unaffected with the same I/O load

  Easy to reproduce with tracker - index the same set of files with
  2.6.15 kernel and 2.6.22 kernel and the difference in desktop
  responsiveness is massive

  I have not confirmed if a non-tracker process which does heavy disk
  i/o (especially writing) replicates this yet - will do further
  investigation soon
