Sorry for the delayed response. I was away on vacation.

Suresh,
on the latest -rt kernel, when the dynticks load-balancer is enabled,
then a dual-core Core2 Duo test-system increases its irq rate from the
normal 15/17 per second to 300-400/sec - on a completely idle system(!).
Any idea what's going on? I'll disable the load balancer for now.

oops.
There is window whe
find below another bugfix for the dynticks-sched patch. (this bug caused
crashed under a stresstest)

yeah, you are right - the schedule() one is/was the only problem.

FYI, i have released 2.6.19-rt14 with your patch integrated into it as
well - it's looking good so far in my testing. (the yum repository will
be updated in a few minutes.)

resched_cpu() was getting called after prepare_task_switch() which
releases the current r

Appended patch attempts to fix the process idle load balancing in the
presence of dynticks. cpus for which ticks are stopped will sleep
till the next event wakes it up. Potentially these sleeps can be for large
durations and during which today, there is no idle load balancing being done.
