As of now Jakub isn't eager to have it and my testing/ convincing is quite limited. If nobody else yells that something like that would be helpful I would simply go and convince PeterZ/tglx to apply 2/2 of this series.As tempting as code removal would be, we can still try to explore the option of letting backlog processing run in threads - as an opt-in on normal kernels and force it on RT?
+1 Patch 1/2 as presented is really scary, we would need to test it extensively on various platforms.
But it would be good to wait ~2 weeks before moving forward, if you don't mind, various core folks keep taking vacations..
