Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v4.11.12-rt12 patch set.
Changes since v4.11.12-rt11:
- In the hrtimer/hotplug fix in the last release, there was one
call path missed. Mike Galbraith reported it and sent a patch to
handle it.
Known issues
- There was a report regarding a deadlock within the rtmutex code.
The delta patch against v4.11.12-rt11 is appended below and can be found here:
