I've been following Ingo Molnar and friends' lovely realtime-preempt patchset. I'm curious, though, the only piece of documentation I've found is http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/older/ANNOUNCE-volunt... which is, indeed, quite old. Is anyone planning on updating this in the near future or is it in too much flux? Should I try and make heads or tails of the code first?

I think it's changing too fast for anyone to have bothered to document it yet.
But, you could make some pretty good documentation based on the LKML discussions of RT preemption, especially Ingo's posts.

No free documentation exists that I know of. It would be nice if someone wrote some..

I'd cobbled together documentation for internal use here though it lacks an "overall concepts" wrapper. I should be revisiting this in a week or so and will look into making it generally available.

Don't know if it's what you're after, but I've written some on the realtime preemption patches:
