Hmmm, I'm getting really confused, I thought that the realtime lsm was
the one that was in 'mm (maybe none of them are?). Finally I found the
followup article on lwn that mentioned this:

"...The end result is that the rlimit patch has come back out of -mm..."
Maybe it was put back again afterwards? (this was reported on February
10). Hard to follow all that's happening...

Right now, Con's patch does 1 and 3, while
Ingo's does 1 and 2 (though
Con says Ingo's patch could also do 3).
Ingo's patch allows 3 to be done in userspace, by an "RT watchdog"
process that runs as root, and wakes occasionally to check for runaway
RT tasks & kill or demote them.
Would people here be happy with
any of those and try to convince kernel developers that there's really a
need for real-time (some still aren't convinced) and that one of these
solution is acceptable?
I think they are already convinced. It looks like Ingo's solution will
get merged (it's in -mm already).
