<p class="MsoNormal">I am using an old version of the libav libraries compiled for ARM, running on an embedded processor, using Linux 3.0.0. ffmpeg version is 2008-09-16, SVN-r15339. I am using libavformat, libavutil, and libavcodec to package an H.264 ES
into an MPEG-2 TS. My application runs fine with linux kernel preemption disabled (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE), but fails when set to voluntary preepmtion (CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY) or full preemption (CONFIG_PREEMPT). Is this expected? Due to other things running
on the processor, kernel preemption is required. I am considering compiling the latest ffmpeg and trying again, but thought it would be worth asking first.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Below is the kernel output when running my application that uses libav with kernel preemption enabled.<o:p></o:p></p>
