i have released the -U5 Real-Time Preemption patch:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc4-mm1-U5
I am getting build problems - specifically with:
CC [M] drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_watchdog.o
If I read the patch correctly, this should be recoded as
DECLARE_MUTEX
instead, but a quick grep of the source code indicates we have about
20 more places where DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED is still used. Should I do
a global replace on that or is something else needed?
it's not normally used, and it's much simpler to rewrite those places
than to implement initialization. (which would be quite hairy)
I also had a compile failure in XFS. The messages are:
CC [M] fs/xfs/quota/xfs_dquot_item.o
CC [M] fs/xfs/quota/xfs_trans_dquot.o
ok, i've re-uploaded a new version of -U5 that has this and the ipmi_watchdog compilation problems fixed.
please check whether it works, XFS does not seem to make use of count>1
semaphores but one never knows ...
