How's this:
Q. How does Real-Time Linux (aka the PREEMPT_RT patch) improve
"latency"?
Works for me
I'm not sure the bit about "spinlocks have a context to return to" makes
sense in an elevator-type pitch, might be too low level, and detract
from the high-level message?
Well, some of the people that have asked were actually looking for a
more technical description than was available in, ahem, Marketing
Literature. So I guess I was attempting to straddle that fence. I will
re-arrange that last sentence to put prioritization first or may be
split it into two sections. How about this:
This means that interrupt service order may be prioritized by
assigning appropriate realtime priorities to the interrupt threads.
I was specifically thinking that the balance between application and
interrupt thread should be mentioned, while this seems to focus on the
relative priorities of just the interrupt threads.
