Why isn't there individual CONFIG in CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL?
Hello,
I recently started to look at PREEMPT_RT patches(3.10.14-rt9) and I have a question.
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL consists of many patches. I think it doesn't represent specific feature but is general term of various features. Why don't those features have each CONFIG_* ?
Best regards,

Do you have something in particular in mind?
As long as it makes sense, there are CONFIG_* introduced. If a patch breaks locks for instance then we don't a special CONFIG item because this what we need and we don't keep both versions around (and the non-RT variant can work both ways).
