Linux Journal takes a look at the
Preemptible Kernel Patch.
"Linux was originally written as a general-purpose operating system without
any consideration for real-time applications. Recently Linux has become
attractive to the real-time community due to its low cost and open
standards. In order to make it more practical for the real-time community,
patches have been written to affect such things as interrupt latency and
context switch. These patches are public domain and are becoming part of the
main Linux tree."
