> This commit, or something like it, seems to have gone in but without > much of a commit message. Was that on purpsoe? Yes, there are files in pending-common that go in without a merge request. Typically those are set to default values because they are new config options, but in this case it had to be set by hand because these are not new config items, but are currently set in a way that is unbuildable. Everything in pending-common is set without review, and should have a corresponding MR to move the items from pending-common and into the correct place. If we did not do this with pending common, this tree would never build until every single config MR was reviewed and merged. It is a method to keep the tree usable, but make sure that nothing makes it into final RHEL configs until reviewed. > Also, I noticed that the dynamic preemption is only enabled for x86_64 due > to none of the other archs enabling HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC.

This is true, but as other arches add HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, this commit message will still be what is seen when people check the values for the configs. In the case of aarch64, I expect that will be soon. In the case of power, it may or may not happen, but the commit message still explains the situation, as it is PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, it just can't be overridden unless patches are merged to enable dynamic. S390 is still not dynamic and ships with PREEMPT_NONE. In all of these cases, it matches what is currently in RHEL 9/RHEL 8, and stable Fedora with the addition of dynamic override allowed where the arch supports it. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
