Summary: add sleeping spinlocks to the mainline kernel Proposer: Tim Bird
Description: One of the last major elements of the RT-preempt patch set that is still not mainlined is the implementation of the so-called "sleeping spinlocks". It would be good to mainline these, addressing remaining issues to their inclusion in the standard Linux kernel. Thomas Gleixner discussed the status of RT-preempt at the [http://lwn.net/Articles/354690/ realtime preemption mini-summit, and the [http://lwn.net/Articles/357465/ 2009 kernel summit].
