[ANNOUNCE] 4.4.7-rt16
Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v4.4.7-rt16 patch set.
Changes since v4.4.7-rt15:
- picked a few panic() re-entrance from NMI fixes from upstream. On -RT
we have the same problem without NMI but with the soft/hard watchdog
triggering panic().
- Don't take the port->lock on oops_in_progress. We had a trylock but
that trylock does not work if invoked with IRQs off (like from the
panic() caller). I am not very happy about this but if we keep it
that way it would make sense to make a similar change for the other
UART drivers…
- Rik van Riel and Clark Williams pointed out that a change made by
Frederic Weisbecker in v4.5 could be backported and then we could
remove some locking around vtime handling.
Known issues:
- CPU hotplug got a little better but can deadlock.
