Does that mean that PREEMPT_RT requires a non preempt method for SCHED_OTHER for SCHED_OTHER to not hit the issues that we were originally hitting? That is, with being able to preempt spin_locks in PREEMPT_RT, running a system with PREEMPT_RT in full preemption mode will still suffer performance issues against a non PREEMPT_RT running in full preemption mode? -- Steve
