Hello I am trying to implement a (soft) real time kthread on a dual cpu machine. Basic design is very simple, the kthread binds to cpu 1 sets itself to a high real time priority and never releases this cpu. Whenever it needs to wait a little I use the assembler pause command. The operating system should be running on cpu 0.
Yet I have 3 problems: 1. Rcu never unlocks ( dentry starvation ). 2. I cannot ssh to the machine when this kthread is runing. This has to do some how with events workqueue. 3. What about all other kthreads,workqueue,tasklets in the system ? aio,md, can I simply un-invoke them ? Is there an easy way to do it ? Is there a framework to do it ? thank you raz -- Raz - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
