Dear RT Folks,
I'm pleased to announce the 3.6.6-rt17 release. 3.6.6-rt16 is just a
not announced update release to 3.6.6.
Changes since 3.6.6-rt16:
* Finally make the NOHZ softirq pending detection work with the new
softirq scheme.
* Remove the WARN_ON from __raise_softirq_irqoff(). I got the
information I want for now.
The delta patch against 3.6.6-rt16 is appended below and can be found
here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.6/incr/patch-3.6.6-rt16-rt17.patch.xz
The RT patch against 3.6.6 can be found here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.6/patch-3.6.6-rt17.patch.xz
The split quilt queue is available at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.6/patches-3.6.6-rt17.tar.xz
Enjoy,
tglx
