Re: [PATCH 1/3] compat: fix device_lock functions on non rt kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I agree that CONFIG_NONE should have been CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE. On the
other hand, I disagree that CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE and
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY should be removed. They might not be in the
latest RT patch, but they are in older patches (2.6.29 in particular).
 Leaving them in will not hinder kernels that no longer have
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE and CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY. Removing them will
cause the build to fail for some configurations of 2.6.29-rt, and
probably others.
