| |
i've uploaded the -T8 VP patch:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc4-mm1-T8
lots of stabilization of CONFIG_PREEMPT_REALTIME. It's still in experimental status but general stability is improving.
Changes since -T7:
- fixed a nasty category of bugs that were introduced by the use of rwsems for rwlocks. rwsems are not read-recursive, while rwlocks are. Fortunately it was not too hard to identify & fix recursive users of tasklist_lock, in fact each of these also qualifies as a cleanup. The symptom of this bug was a soft-deadlocking of the system.
- fixed profiler locks, i believe this could resolve the bootup crash reported by K.R. Foley.
- fixed VP / XFS namespace collision reported by Mark H. Johnson
- fix one more final detail of the new zombie-task handling code
- fixed 3c59x.c, fasync-handling, ipv6, module-loader runtime warnings reported by K.R. Foley.
- fixed the ali5451 locking
to create a -T8 tree from scratch the patching order is:
