Hi, let me repost the pile that has grown from the initial patch based on the review feedback I have collected from Peter. I do realize that he also suggested to go from the other direction and implement this for the full preemption mode first. As I've said I believe this would require to examine all CONFIG_PREEMPTION code paths and preempt_mode=[none,voluntary] is already quite useful for distributions which are targeting high throuhput and desktop environments. Adding full preemption on top is definitely desirable and something we will be looking into. This is the first step in that direction.
If maintainers really believe that starting from the full preemption mode first then we are willing to explore that path of course.
I am stil posting that as an RFC because I didn't get to push this through a complete compile time testing and rely on 0-day bot in that aspect.
Thanks and I am looking forward for a further feedback.
