anyways, i still see the mysterious pauses which do not show up in the
preempt_max_thresh.

ah, and btw: what does the /proc/sys/kernel/kernel_preemption tunable do
with PREEMPT_REALTIME enabled?

mango:~# cat /proc/sys/kernel/kernel_preemption
1

[all the other VP tunables are not available anymore]

mango:~# cat /proc/sys/kernel/voluntary_preemption
cat: /proc/sys/kernel/voluntary_preemption: No such file or directory
mango:~# cat /proc/sys/kernel/hardirq_preemption
cat: /proc/sys/kernel/hardirq_preemption: No such file or directory
mango:~# cat /proc/sys/kernel/softirq_preemption
cat: /proc/sys/kernel/softirq_preemption: No such file or directory
