Well, that's clearly wrong: threaded IRQ handlers are not tied to real-time in any way. Yes, they can be used for RT too but as far as the upstream kernel is involved that's at most an afterthought. and the "unless this patch isn't actually threading anything" bit does not parse at all. The patches execute hard-IRQ handlers from special kernel threads. > > Clearly you have neither clue about real time nor about operating > > systems in general. > > Here we go again Thomas..
