Yes, we use a Debian buster with preempt-rt patched kernel.
Additionally, we use isolcpus for the RT relevant threads.
Apart from achieving low latency, we use this tool to measure the maximum latency over a long period of time.
This gives a good estimate that the system behaves deterministically, even under high load.
The tool also has a built-in mechanism to set trace points when a threshold is hit, to later inspect the kernel logs.

Ok, got it. There were some issues reported by checkpatch. I'll fix them and move to apps.
Thanks for the hint!
