[linux-audio-dev] rt irqs patch to 2.4.23

Hello all, here's a new approach to improving kernel RT performance. This specifically tries to improve interrupt latencies, so it's complementary to the existing preempt and lowlatency patches. # linuxdevices.com article http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3235024671.html ""Metrowerks Senior Software Engineer and veteran real-time programmer Bernhard Kuhn has created a Linux kernel patch that he claims enables hard, real-time performance in the Linux kernel by adding priorities to interrupts and spinlocks. Kuhn believes his approach to be more "natural" and akin to traditional real-time operating systems (RTOSs) than the dual-kernel approach taken by real-time projects such as RTAI and RTLinux, and he is hopeful that his patch might one day win enough interest and support to become part of the official Linux kernel tree."" # Kuhn's post to linux-kernel http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0401.1/0300.html # Kuhn's announcement http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT6105045931.html # patch against 2.4.23 http://home.t-online.de/home/Bernhard_Kuhn/rtirq/20040108/rtirq-20040108.tgz -- http://www.eca.cx Audio software for Linux!
