Thanks for the reply, Steven. ( i didn't even think i would get that) > It's both, but we don't care. Sorry. Seems that the nvidia driver is not > compatible with some of the changes that -rt has done. One is that you > can not call spinlocks after disabling preemption. If the nvidia driver > does this, it will break. I see. I know how to reproduce this issue, and how to completely avoid it from affecting me, anyway - so it's not a huge deal. It's only happened twice, in both circumstances i use using VDPAU with Adobe flash <sarcasm>surprise, surprise!</sarcasm>, also in both circumstances my uptime had been several days. ie: it doesn't happen very often, at all. I understand why you don't care about nvidia, but if it is a bug in RT - should it not be fixed? anyways, I will report it to nvidia once i get a chance to. it would nice if they addressed RT-related problems in their driver being as some folks do require proper/good 3d acceleration / real performance / Opengl 4.2 which (obviously) Nouveau does not provide, nor is it anywhere near providing in the foreseeable future :\ (not that this is news to anyone who has used them both). > Bring up the bug with the nvidia rt patch maintainer. That's about all > I'll say on this matter. No problem. I know the author of the patch, anyway. I just wanted some verification, rather than just making my own assumptions. take care, and thanks again. jordan -- 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
