Hello RT-list!
I'm pleased to announce the 4.4.262-rt219 stable release.
This is just an update to the latest stable release. No RT
specific changes.
I tried to fix the locking self failures I reported last time. As it
turns out the test setup was somehow broken. After redoing all the
test just using 'defconfig + kvmconfig + locking_selftest' all worked
fine. I also tested older v4.4-rt releases and there was no failures.
Furthermore, the cyclicdeadline fails again, which I probably a good
thing; I don't believe in self healing capabilities of the -rt patchset.
Anyway, I think my build/test setup was just broken.
Known issue:
- locktorture reports a might_sleep warning for spin_locks test
