Yes, I think people understood what I meant. By "long deadline" I meant the time needed for an event to happen or critical section to finish is so large that it should be easy for the event to occur or a critical section to finish within that time range. In a rate monotonic scenario, I usually consider 3 time ranges. Period, deadline and runtime. Where, period >= deadline >= runtime. Usually runtime is deadline - (enough for some delta). Thus, when I say deadline, that is just a shorter version of "time it takes where a deadline must be reached". -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
