- cwillu 2y agoYes, that's why it's a config option; but if the code is in the kernel a distro can package up a preempt-rt kernel by flipping the config flag rather than maintaining an out-of-tree patchset, which is a _much_ lower burden.
- anthk 2y agoAh, TIL. I thought the -rt kernel was in mainline since mid 2000's.
