Hi Ingo, Steven, I had been working on some ideas related to saving context switches in the bottom-half mechanisms on -rt. So far, the ideas have been a flop, but a few peripheral technologies did come out of it. This series is one such idea that I thought might have some merit on its own. The header-comments describe it in detail, so I wont bother replicating that here.
This series applies to 24-rt1. Any comments/feedback welcome. -Greg -- 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/
