Hi all,

here is the promised update for Documentation/scheduler/sched-deadline.txt.
I send it as an RFC because of the following doubts:
1) I split the patches trying to isolate related changes. So,
    - the first patch fixes 2 typos that I noticed when updating the
      documentation
    - the second patch is based on Zhiqiang Zhang's patch and fixes some
      inconsistencies in the symbols used for period and execution times
    - the third patch adds a small discussion about admission tests for EDF on
      single processor systems
    - the fourth patch discusses the multi-processor case, adding some missing
      references
    I am not sure if this split is ok, or if I should do something different
    (should I put all of the changes in a single patch?)

This is indeed the preferred way.

2) The second patch is partly by me and partly by Zhiqiang Zhang. I do not
    know how to preserve Zhiqiang Zhang's authorship, so I added "Based on a
    patch by Zhiqiang Zhang" in the changelog. But I am not sure if this is
    the correct thing to do (maybe I should split this in 2 different patches?)

This is not uncommon practise and works for me.

3) I re-read the added text multiple times, and it looks ok to me... But I am
    not a native speaker, so it might contain English errors or sentences that
    are not clear enough

I send the one comment I had in reply to the relevant email.

Other than that it looked good to me so I've queued these patches.
Ok; so how should I proceed? Should I address the various comments (by you, Juri
and Henrik) by sending incremental patches based on these ones (since I see you queued
these patches), or should I resend everything after addressing the various comments?


			Thanks,
				Luca
