Dear RT Folks, This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 4.14.298-rt141-rc1. This is the backport of the timers update proposed for v4.19-rt by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior in this email thread: timers: backport timer bits https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221031155006.1651995-1-bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches too. The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted when the final release is out. This is just a review release (or release candidate). The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the final release is. If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the next main release on 2022-11-13.
