to what half of which is accepted and why.
Kernel conf is hard enough without knowing what to look for, really!
Now that mingo's (et al) RT patches are
coming into mainstream, what is
the corporate rationale behind it and the running order of urgency?
I am fishing for some information on; if it is the disk-drives, the
network drivers, the usb stack or something else that I am too ignorant
to have noticed?
What worries me the most, is corner-cases on network, blocking multiple
cpu's.
Isn't the functionality conditional and selected at configure time? I
wouldn't be too worried about it. It also forces broken drivers to be
fixed which is only a good thing. This is a bit similar to the situation
when kernel pre-emption was introduced.
