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.
FYI: I have been asked to set up a bunch of Xeon boxens to serve a VPN
over WiFi, they/we are currently using kernel 2.6.17 (debian etch as of
today.) So this is not stricly about audio, but I would guess all of us
would like some clarification here. After all, we have followed the
evolvement of these patches for quite a few years by now.

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.

Kernel conf is hard enough without knowing what to look for, really!

Just to clearify ...
I believe that the RT patches that have been helpful to us in years,
will also be helpful for corporations, better utilizing their fancy
multiprocessor hardware, avoiding spinning in vain waiting ...
So I am not afraid, no ;-) The PHB's are :-D

Heh, slashcode ain't doing what you thought it was supposed to?
Google can find them all though:

That would be the latest 24 comments. There are bits of interresting
information in most of them.
