[l-a-u CCed because we've been talking about this problem there recently, and that's what prodded me to do the bisection to track it down... fortunately the -rt8 to -rt9 interdiff was pretty small!] Subject: [PATCH] [RT] tasklets: fix typo in tasklet_hi_action Fix a typo in tasklet_hi_action -- using the wrong tasklet list when removing actions. This appears to be what was causing the ALSA sequencer device not to work in 2.6.26 with the RT patch: the sequencer was flaky in -rt1 to -rt8, and just hung in -rt9 and later, after tasklets-fix-tasklet_hi_schedule.patch which fixed the same typo when adding to the list. I guess that's because before -rt9 the actions were going onto the wrong list, whereas after -rt9 they were being lost entirely once the first one had been performed. It seems happy now, anyway.
