[announce] split-up -rt patch-queue, v2.6.22.1-rt2

[announce] split-up -rt patch-queue, v2.6.22.1-rt2

[Ingo Molnar]

We are pleased to announce something we've been working on for some 
time: a finegrained, split-up patch queue of the -rt kernel patch. From 
now on (as of 2.6.22.1-rt2) it will be part of every upstream -rt 
release and it is available from the -rt download site:

   http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/

the -rt patch-queue consists of 374 patches at the moment, which do:

   698 files changed, 27920 insertions(+), 9603 deletions(-)

which is impressive as we moved a huge chunk of -rt into mainline 
already ;-) The series file is attached below.

the splitup work has been done by Thomas and me, and we completed it 
during the recent merge of -rt to 2.6.22. (what we had before was pretty 
monolithic, messy and hard to merge, not really suitable for general 
consumption.)

the purpose of this finegrained splitup is to foster (even ;-) quicker 
upstream integration of various -rt features, and to see the full -rt 
tree integrated upstream. We also hope that this split-up queue helps 
various vendors standardize their (currently quite splintered) real-time 
implementations to the upstream -rt patchset.

the queue is not (yet) bisectable at every point, and many of the splits 
are thematic, to allow the simpler future handling of updates.

more info about the -rt patchset in general can be found in the RT wiki:

  http://rt.wiki.kernel.org

I haven't really been submitting much to -rt mainly because there was no
broken out set .. Every time I had to download that one big patch I
would clinch my fists ..

Is the number of patches relevant to you ? It seems like some patches
could be boken out more. For instance there could be a per-architecture
patch dedicated to converting spinlocks to raw spinlocks .. I was
looking at preempt-realtime-i386.patch ..

We know very well and Ingo nowhere said, that this is not a perfect
queue, but it was and still is _our_ work base and we opened it up for
the reasons explained.

What we definitely not need is platitude advise, how we should manage
the queue and what could be improved as well as hysteric shuffling in
the queue right now.

There are enough problems to work on, cleanups to do and the least one
is to worry about how the queue is organized.

If you don't think massaging the queue is important right now, what are
your priorities ?

Now you expect, that we are completely excited because you condescend to
work with us from one minute to the other ?

I'm not "condecending" to anything. I was personally discouraged .. If I
was you I'd re-evaluate my position. You should _thrive_ on more
developers working with your, instead of trying to discourage people (by
sending email like this) .. I won't be discouraged by your nasty emails.

Just so this isn't a a totally negative thread, I'll take this
opportunity to again thank you and Ingo for release a broken out set. I
appreciate it, and I'm sure many other people do as well.
