I would send a note to LKML asking why this hasn't been included in mainline, and Cc the following: Frank Li <Frank.Li@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Zeng Zhaoming <b32542@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> And perhaps: Shawn Guo <shawn.guo@xxxxxxxxxx> Xiao Jiang <jgq516@xxxxxxxxx> As they have done some work on the fec driver recently. You can also Cc myself, Thomas, Tim and Uwe. Note that you see that this causes a hang in the system if ksoftirqd is a real time task. Not to mention, that ksoftirqd spins in an infinite loop if the cable isn't connected (regardless of ksoftirqd's priority). -- 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
