From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Steven Rostedt Subject: Using random in interrupts for RT Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 10:30:49 -0400 Message-ID: <1344954649.6724.13.camel@gandalf.stny.rr.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-15" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: LKML , Ben Hutchings , RT To: Thomas Gleixner Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-rt-users.vger.kernel.org Thomas, Ben Hutchings asked me if we still need "genirq: Disable random call on preempt-rt" for -rt? With commit 902c098a366 "random: use lockless techniques in the interrupt path" there is no more locks used. But does it still produce high latencies? -- Steve
