[RFC/PATCH 2/3] rt: PI-workqueue support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add support for priority queueing and priority inheritance to the workqueue
infrastructure. This is done by replacing the linear linked worklist with a
priority sorted plist.

The drawback is that this breaks the workqueue barrier, needed to support
flush_workqueue() and wait_on_work().
