Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v4.18.16-rt9 patch set.
Changes since v4.18.16-rt8:
- The RCU fix, which was introduced in v4.18.7-rt5, leads to a lockdep
warning during CPU hotplug. After a discussion with upstream it was
suggested to revert the change that lead to the problem in -RT.
Known issues
- A warning triggered in "rcu_note_context_switch" originated from
SyS_timer_gettime(). The issue was always there, it is now
visible. Reported by Grygorii Strashko and Daniel Wagner.
The delta patch against v4.18.16-rt8 is appended below and can be found here:
