It in no way should be construed as a substitute for the forthcoming official release from the RT community. We are submitting it now in hopes it will be useful to someone in the interim, even if only for reference for the official porting effort (since we have resolved numerous issues that were introduced in the new vanilla code since 21 already). We hope to rebase to Ingo's offical patch once it is available. As a caveat, I'm sure there are numerous errors which were introduced by a combination of unnoticed patch fuzz, human error, etc. But we do have it building and running pretty reliably on a number of 2-way, 4-way, and 8-way x86_64 SMP systems here in our lab with various configurations. It yields very impressive cyclic-test results with our reference PREEMPT_RT config (see attached) so we know that generally the port went ok. There is some fallout that occurred related to some slob changes between rc1-rc2 that we could probably use some feedback on. I have attached a file (problem-patches.txt) that lists the names/commit-ids of some of the patches that we know to be problematic from bisecting. There is also a cheesy hack in fs/buffer.c that is probably just plain wrong, but we are still trying to find a good way to fix an issue with the IDE driver. Note also that we find that the resulting kernel does not boot on some T60p thinkpads without "acpi=off". We are still investigating the root cause here. You can find the patch available here: ftp://ftp.novell.com/dev/patch-2.6.22-rt1 Best Regards, -Greg ------ Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@...ell.com> Linux Solutions Group Novell View attachment "rt.config" of type "text/plain" (67059 bytes) View attachment "problem-patches.txt" of type "text/plain" (1042 bytes)
