[ANNOUNCE] v4.16.18-rt12
Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v4.16.18-rt12 patch set.
Changes since v4.16.18-rt11:
- Mark RCU's "rcu_iw" irqwork to be invoked in hardirq context as
expected by RCU. Reported by John Ogness.
- Drop the "is_special_task_state()" check from rtmutex's custom
set_state function. This avoids a warning if the sleeping-lock code
is restoring back to this "special" state.
- If a kworker invokes schedule() it is possible that it wakes another
kworker and invokes schedule() again. Try to avoid the second
schedule(). Reported and patched by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira.
- Enable XEN on ARM64. Iain Hunter reported that there are no problems
with it so there is no reason to keep disabled.
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.
