Hello RT Folks!
I'm pleased to announce the 4.4.185-rt184 stable release.
This release is just an update to the new stable 4.4.185 version and
no RT specific changes have been made.
There were a couple of merge conflicts. Nothing too scary but please
verify the intermediated releases (v4.4.180-rt182 and v4.4.181-rt183)
if I fixed the merge conflicts correctly.
Known issues:
- The stable v4.4.178 update includes bdf3c006b9a2 ("vmstat: make
vmstat_updater deferrable again and shut down on idle") which brakes
-rt. f01f17d3705b ("mm, vmstat: make quiet_vmstat lighter") fixes
this problem and was send to stable-rt but rejected. The patch
brakes NVIDIAs Jetson hardware. More investigation or even better
hardware to test is needed.
