I send it as an RFC because of the following doubts: 1) I split the patches trying to isolate related changes. So, - the first patch fixes 2 typos that I noticed when updating the documentation - the second patch is based on Zhiqiang Zhang's patch and fixes some inconsistencies in the symbols used for period and execution times - the third patch adds a small discussion about admission tests for EDF on single processor systems - the fourth patch discusses the multi-processor case, adding some missing references I am not sure if this split is ok, or if I should do something different (should I put all of the changes in a single patch?) 2) The second patch is partly by me and partly by Zhiqiang Zhang. I do not know how to preserve Zhiqiang Zhang's authorship, so I added "Based on a patch by Zhiqiang Zhang" in the changelog. But I am not sure if this is the correct thing to do (maybe I should split this in 2 different patches?) 3) I re-read the added text multiple times, and it looks ok to me... But I am not a native speaker, so it might contain English errors or sentences that are not clear enough 4) I think I added all the needed references, and Section 3 now looks like a self-contained introduction to EDF scheduling... If someone thinks that some additional references are needed, let me know and I'll search and add them Thanks, Luca Luca Abeni (4): Documentation/scheduler/sched-deadline.txt: fix typos Documentation/scheduler/sched-deadline.txt: use consistent namings Documentation/scheduler/sched-deadline.txt: Some notes on EDF schedulability Documentation/scheduler/sched-deadline.txt: add some references Documentation/scheduler/sched-deadline.txt | 129 ++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 113 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5
