Loading the realtime-lsm and then running with SCHED_FIFO *does* work as expected on this kernel. I should retry the test with *exactly* the expected patch sequence. What would that be?
Sure enough I found the bug in less than 5 mins, and it would definitely cause this terrible behaviour.
A silly bracket transposition error on my part :P
