As is, these sites are a bug in -rt and we'll need to fix them anyway. As for the code you pointed me to, the i8042 driver, it seems to play way to funny tricks for a simple 'slow' driver. If you replace the spin_lock() + sync_sched(), with rcu_read_lock() + rcu_call() it should work again without adding an extra lock. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
