As far as my observation, RT-function always have some syscall. because pure calculation doesn't need deterministic guarantee. But _if_ you are really using such priority design. I'm ok maximum NonRT priority instead maximum RT priority too. Luis, NonRT high priority break your use case? and if yes, can you please explain the reason? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
