Well devices being added to the driver won't add overhead by itself. Adding new Realtek devices usually looks like: [RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_31] = {"RTL8168dp/8111dp"}, [RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_51] = {"RTL8168ep/8111ep"}, static void rtl8168dp_driver_start(struct rtl8169_private *tp) {

Rod, RTAI Debian packages exist for Bullseye, I packaged them myself. RTAI will never and has never been deployed in upstream Debian. I have an r8169 NIC and don't have any issues with network latency. 5.4 kernel debs would also work for Bookworm but it takes 5+ minutes to reach my desktop scre

It's not useful to have RTAI in Bullseye as we don't have any debs for that platform. It needs to target Bookworm so it is deployed to the Debian repos. Also, on the topic of kernels, there is a significant issue with the 5.x and 6.x kernels in Debian which have excessive network latency mostly/po

Since there's been great progress with RTAI developments, can RTAI Debian package support for Bullseye be a milestone before 2.9.0 makes it's initial stable release? I was hoping to have PREEMPT_RT and RTAI work together with the 5.4 kernel so one LinuxCNC package will work on all, but I don't t

As the dev that must approve the request, you can send a comment: This looks like it needs to go in master too, "can you make another pull that cherrypicks or commits this to master" Or if you are so inclined you could take this on for your self. So rather then you as the dev, having to figur

I would say the "degree of making sense" depends on how much the branches are diverged. Currently I think it makes much sense, because 2.9 and master are (almost) identical and the bug fixes for 2.9 are 100% applicable for master. Am Mi., 9. Nov. 2022 um 02:49 Uhr schrieb Chris Morley < chrisinnan
