Re: Real-Time Preemption, -RT-2.6.12-final-V0.7.50-24

Hi Ingo,

suffering (not really ;-) double-rated IO-APIC level-interrupts I found the following patch as a solution:

--- arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c~	2005-06-28 19:07:49.000000000 +0200
+++ arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c	2005-06-28 19:07:49.000000000 +0200

 	if (redirect_hardirq(desc)) {

 	}

it works here on a PREEMPT_RT 2.6.12-RT-V0.7.50-29 base.
Level-interrupts are sanely rated again.
Didn't check, if the patch breaks XT-PIC mode, which works ok without the patch.
Mainline shows the same effect here (VIA K8T800 UP), didn't dig there yet.

thanks,
Karsten
