Hi Dong,
I tried to disable CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED, but I still got cpu stalls!
Hmm, sorry. I hoped it would work.
Is there a recommended config for the RT patch?
Not really. In the x86 distro case, we base everything on the distro
configuration, e.g. using
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
We then disable CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED and CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW,
because they are known to cause trouble and long latencies,
respectively. In addition, we enable diagnostics such a latency
histograms. That's all.
An alternative approach would be to select a QA farm system that is
close to your hardware and distro and use the same settings on your
system. A list of all farm systems sorted by distro is here ->
https://www.osadl.org/?id=1070; clicking on the system name in the first
row of this table will display its entire profile. This includes kernel
parameter, hardware data and, of course, the kernel configuration.
Sometimes, there is also a quilt series, in case we temporarily use
off-tree patches that are on their way to mainline. Would be interesting
to see whether your system also stalls when a configuration is used that
is successful here.
-Carsten.
