Depends on the definition of "usable", I guess. Do you think they will
include access to SCHED_FIFO out of the box?
Ubuntu Dapper will. It can't be enabled OOTB because of the "secure by
default" requirement,
Well, that's what I meant by OOTB...
but all that's needed is to add:
* rtprio hard 99
* nice hard -20
to /etc/security/limits.conf.
I'm running it now, it works perfectly. Running for several days, max
latency so far with 2.6.16 vanilla (+ latency trace patch) and a 600MHz
box is only ~5.5ms.
I would expect the next Fedora release to also support this, if FC5
doesn't already, all that's needed are recent PAM and glibc.
Yep, that already was happening in the latest kernels/pam in fc4.
