This got rid of the 'Badness in exit.c' warnings on my SMP testbox (and related crashes). - fixed the _mutex_trylock_bh missing symbol problem reported by K.R. Foley and Florian Schmidt. - turned the sysrq lock into a raw spinlock, to enable direct keyboard irqs. PREEMPT_REALTIME is still experimental, but it's already looking much better on my testboxes. to create a -T7 tree from scratch the patching order is: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.8.tar.bz2 + http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.9-rc4.bz2 + http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.9-rc4/2.6.9-rc4-mm1/2.6.9-rc4-mm1.bz2 + http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc4-mm1-T7 Ingo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
