Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v5.9-rc3-rt3 patch set.
Changes since v5.9-rc3-rt2:
- Correct a compile issue in the i915 driver. Reported by Carsten Emde
and Daniel Wagner.
- Mark Marshall reported a crash on PowerPC. The reason for the crash
is a race in exec_mmap() vs a context switch and is not limited to
PowerPC. This race is present since v5.4.3-rt1 and is addressed in
two changes:
- commit 38cf307c1f201 ("mm: fix kthread_use_mm() vs TLB invalidate")
which is part of v5.9-rc1.
- patch "mm: fix exec activate_mm vs TLB shootdown and lazy tlb switching
race"
by Nicholas Piggin which has been posted for review and is not yet
merged upstream.
Known issues
- It has been pointed out that due to changes to the printk code the
internal buffer representation changed. This is only an issue if tools
like `crash' are used to extract the printk buffer from a kernel memory
image.
