Hi all,

As part of our investigations into the Linux scheduler we've
interacted with Juri Lelli at the University of Pisa (cc'ed) who is
part of a group that is working on a DEADLINE scheduler[1] for
Linux[2].

While we're coming at this from a power managment angle[3], I suspect
that LEG and LNG already have real-world usecases that would benefit
from deadline scheduler found in other RTOSes.

So I think it makes sense to merge Juri's tree into linux-linaro going
forward to allow easier experimentation. Does LEG and LNG have any
interest in this at this point?

Juri has expressed an interest in maintaining a current branch of the
code that could be merged into our monthly release. In return, real
world usecases will improve his chances of getting the code merged
into mainline.

Regards,
Amit
