Hello, We were previously able to disable PREEMPT in the kernel configuration, but the latest kernels now enable it by default and it is no longer possible to disable it. Is it possible to let us decide whether to activate PREEMPT or not? Currently we use the following revert patch for our non-preempt kernels. --- a/kernel/Kconfig.preempt 2026-02-14 10:06:32.000000000 +0000 +++ b/kernel/Kconfig.preempt 2026-02-08 21:03:27.000000000 +0000 @@ -16,13 +16,11 @@ config ARCH_HAS_PREEMPT_LAZY choice prompt "Preemption Model" - default PREEMPT_LAZY if ARCH_HAS_PREEMPT_LAZY default PREEMPT_NONE config PREEMPT_NONE bool "No Forced Preemption (Server)" depends on !PREEMPT_RT - depends on ARCH_NO_PREEMPT select PREEMPT_NONE_BUILD if !PREEMPT_DYNAMIC help This is the traditional Linux preemption model, geared towards @@ -37,7 +35,6 @@ config PREEMPT_NONE config PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY bool "Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)" - depends on !ARCH_HAS_PREEMPT_LAZY depends on !ARCH_NO_PREEMPT depends on !PREEMPT_RT select PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY_BUILD if !PREEMPT_DYNAMIC --- Thanks in advance, Christian
