The 'soft irq-flag' code only had a debugging purpose, but that purpose is equally well suited by dont-schedule-while-in-atomic-section checks. This cleanup resulted in a nice 10% reduction of the -rt patch's size, and should make porting to architectures simpler. another bigger change is the continued rework of the PI code by Thomas Gleixner: it should now be Bug Free (tm) - in particular the SMP locking deadlock noticed by Esben Nielsen should be fixed. There are also lots of updates to the PI-futex code too, by Thomas. there are also lots of smaller fixes for regressions in -rt1. to build a 2.6.16-rt5 tree, the following patches should be applied: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2 http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/patch-2.6.16-rt5 Ingo
