[PATCH [RT] 13/14] allow rt-mutex lock-stealing to include lateral priority

2008-02-21 Thread Gregory Haskins
The current logic only allows lock stealing to occur if the current task is of higher priority than the pending owner. We can gain signficant throughput improvements (200%+) by allowing the lock-stealing code to include tasks of equal priority. The theory is that the system will make faster
