Hi, I have read that with each new kernel release, the Big Kernel Lock (BKL) is gradually being removed from the core kernel code. Just out of interest, I was wondering if this has an impact on the RT patch? In particular, - does the RT patch have any connection with the BKL? - presumably the BKL removal will reduce the average latency of the unpatched kernel? - is the BKL currently a source of considerable latency? - will the BKL removal make the RT patch considerably smaller/simpler? - has the RT patch effectively been removing the BKL since day 1, or does it just make the BKL a pre-emptible lock? Many thanks, Tony -- 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
