real time patches merged even though I checked out origin/am33x-v4.4 #32

Greetings,

I really appreciate your great work keeping all these boards running linux, debian, ubuntu, etc. Thank you!

Maybe this is what you want, if so, that is OK. But I was surprised to see the giant preempt rt patches applied to the kernel, when I did not ask for real-time patches.

I expected the 'rt' function in patch.sh to be disabled unless I checked out origin/am33x-rt-v4.4

Please advise,

William

hi @bvwelch only the rt patch is applied, the more aggressive RT config option is not enabled.

The patch is applied to make it more easy for me to sync the non-rt & rt v4.4.x kernel branches.

Thank you for your quick reply. So if I understand you correctly, you do apply the 30,000+ line patch to the kernel source tree, but do not enable the most aggressive feature in the dot config file?

I have considered the rt patch from time to time but I was leery of such a massive patch to the kernel tree...

It is good to know that you are comfortable with the patch. I may need to reconsider my position.
