From Ted:
"Um, alloc_rtsj_mem must be compiled into the kernel.  That's because the RTSJ
TCK needs more space than the module can allocate using kmalloc().   So the
alloc_rtsj_mem driver must be compiled into kernel, so that it can allocate
memory out of the early_boot initialization, before the mm subsystem is
initialized. 

So CONFIG_RMEM can be 'm', but CONFIG_ALLOC_RTSJ_MEM must be 'y'. "

So this is a request that RH changes their -rt config to set
CONFIG_ALLOC_RTSJ_MEM to "y".

Please provide a description of the associated parameter describing mem size on
boot line.

If alloc_rtsj_mem is built statically, the boot option would be:
    alloc_rtsj_mem.size=<memsize>

Where an example size is 1024 

Comment 3 Tim Burke 2007-06-05 01:43:35 UTC
1024 what?  what is the units? pages? MB?

the size argument is in bytes.
