I don't see how can preempt-RT ever become hard-RT when a simple lock hangs it. As soon as you call kernel code, you'll eventually hang, kmalloc will have to allocate memory and pageout other stuff no matter what.
I really hope embedded developers knows better and they don't get the idea of using preempt-RT where hard-RT is required. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
