Subject: Project Proposal: add sleeping spinlocks to mainline kernel
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:47:44 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B296390.3090004@am.sony.com> (raw)
Summary: add sleeping spinlocks to the mainline kernel
Proposer: Tim Bird
Description:
One of the last major elements of the RT-preempt patch set that is
still not mainlined is the implementation of the so-called
"sleeping spinlocks". It would be good to mainline these,
addressing remaining issues to their inclusion in the standard
Linux kernel.
Thomas Gleixner discussed the status of RT-preempt at the
[http://lwn.net/Articles/354690/ realtime preemption mini-summit,
and the [http://lwn.net/Articles/357465/ 2009 kernel summit].
