There are a few futex changes > which collide. It's going to be interesting. FYI we are on 2 month cycle for -cip-rt, so we are still fine for a while. We had trouble coordinating matching -cip and -rt releases, but we decided to adjust -cip cycle to match -rt, so that should be solved. > BTW, as you certainly are aware, the v4.4 kernel is EOL soon.

We are aware, but I don't think we decided what will happen at that point (and I can't really speak for the project). We plan to maintain -cip and -cip-rt variants till 2027: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/start Taking over -stable and -stable-rt maintainance, too, is something that may make sense (and we probably will be considered), but it is likely CIP Technical Steering Committee's (“TSC”) decision. https://www.cip-project.org/about/charter Actually, your input may be important here. If you (or SuSE or someone else) can put some resources into 4.4-rt after February 2022, that would be good to know.
