Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v4.1.5-rt5 patch set.
Changes since v4.1.5-rt4:
- don't disable preemption in dump_stack(). We should not see a
backtrace on a production kernel but then it should not increase the
latency if trigger one.
Known issues:
- bcache is disabled.
- CPU hotplug works in general. Steven's test script however
deadlocks usually on the second invocation.
- Clark Williams reported an OOPS in netlink_release() which has not
been narrowed down yet.
- Nicholas Mc Guire reported high CPU usage by softirq on an idle system
which seems to freeze / halt the system.
The delta patch against 4.1.5-rt4 is appended below and can be found here:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.1/incr/patch-4.1.5-rt4-rt5.patch.xz
