The Grumpy Editor's 2008 retrospective
Your editor should know by now that expecting deterministic merge times for realtime patches is a sure path to disappointment; latencies in this area are always higher than one would like. In this case, the realtime developers got stuck in a high-priority interrupt (taking over the x86 architecture) with the result that realtime work got preempted and suffered from severe starvation.
