Hello,
I'm a student of Computer Science. For my Master thesis I want to test
a patch that allow to use a generic scheduler, and this scheduler can
be
inserted as module. The patch and the module that I want to test is
for a bit old kernel, version 2.6.21.4. I applyed before realtime
patch and after generic scheduler
patch.
When I try to use the module in qemu everything seems to work (the
computation continue and the results are as I aspected) but I had a
sort of warning on the emulator.
In attachement I add this messages.
Otherwise when I try the module on real pc the machine hang on in a
deadlock, but sadly I don't know how the save the output of the kernel
debugger because I have no serial port
on my second pc..
If I recompile the kernel with no High Resolution Timer Support the
patch works also in the real machine.
I see that the module set an hrtimer inside a section locked by a
spinlock. Could be this a problem?
Thanks in advance
Nicoka
