I gave it a hacky try. And it seems to be *a lot* better:
# cyclictest -p 99 -l 10000
WARN: stat /dev/cpu_dma_latency failed: No such file or directory
policy: fifo: loadavg: 1.18 0.71 0.33 1/122 258
T: 0 ( 258) P:99 I:1000 C: 10000 Min: 118 Act: 1104 Avg: 418 Max:
1858
I will try to clean it a bit for another patch set :-).
Thanks,
JM
