patchset still being developed?
Hello rt-users!
Is the CONFIG PREEMPT RT Patch still developed? So far I canot find any newer patchset than the one for kernel 2.6.33.7 on
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ but what I can find is submissions to the linux kernel related to PREEMPT stuff in the Changelog of recent kernels.
Does this mean, that with current kernels (starting 2.6.34) no more patching is needed and a Kernel can be configured to do realtime preemption without patches?
If so, an update on the mainpage of the wiki would be nice...
Kind regards,
Dennis
I just installed 2.6.36.2, but it doesn't seem to have complete preemption. I don't see the IRQs as processes and cannot set priorities to them. Therefore 2.6.33.7 seems to be the last kernel with rt-support. Am I right? Of so, why?

Thank you, Andy. I wasn't a member of the list back then...

On 10th November 2010 in response to a similar question, from Fernando Lopez-Lezcano which asked about anything being in the works for kernels later than 2.6.33.x Thomas Gleixner wrote:

So I guess you, like the rest of us, need to watch this space!
