Subject: Updated preempt-kernel patches
Date: 12 Oct 2001 16:19:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1002917978.957.86.camel@phantasy> (raw)
Updated preempt-kernel patches for 2.4.10, 2.4.12, 2.4.13-pre1, and
(phew!) 2.4.12-ac1 are available at:
http://tech9.net/rml/linux
Note the patches for 2.4.10 are updated over previously releases.
These patches allow create a preemptible kernel -- increasing system
response time. Everyone is encouraged to give it a whirl and report
back.
Major changes include code to prevent CPU changes on preempt (should
prevent a class of race conditions), an SMP compile fix, and various
cleanups.
Full change log:
20011011
- remove pgalloc.h preemption disable statements -- not
needed with the new CPU switch prevention
- fix compile on SMP in some configurations (ac tree only)
20011005
- rearrange sched.c so we can patch cleanly against rtsched
(or vice versa)
20011004
- prevent the case of preemption causing a CPU switch
by locking tasks to the current CPU in preempt_schedule
- revert to _raw_spin_xxx from _spin_xxx since PPC uses
that convention.
20011003
- push pcmcia-cs tools fix into their next release
20011001
- fix spin_lock_prefetch optimization causing (harmless)
compile warnings
