Where can I find some good data on what to expect for maximum interrupt latency under Linux? I am interrested in doing some real-time projects under Linux where the hard real-time code could be implemented as a small interrupt handler.
I found 400usec as a maximum number in a report on the Real Time Linux home page (http://luz.cs.nmt.edu/~rtlinux/), but the same report also mention that the console code may disable interrupts for as long as a millisecond or two when doing VT switches. In my case there will be no console so that in particular isn't a problem.
Thanks, Ty
