[ANNOUNCE] v5.18-rt11
Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v5.18-rt11 patch set.
Changes since v5.18-rt10:
- Dropping preempt_check_resched_rt() checks. The checks were added to
ensure a possible wake up which could be missed if the wakeup
happens on the same CPU with disabled interrupts. This has been
reduced to a ksoftirqd wake and is no longer needed because a
softirq-raise won't wake ksoftirqd if the caller has BH disabled.
The remaining two caller (based on audit, htb_work_func() and
dev_cpu_dead()) acquire/release a lock "soon" which provides the
needed scheduling point.
Known issues
