Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v6.8.2-rt11 patch set.
Changes since v6.8.2-rt10:
- Update of the printk series by John Ogness:
- fix usage of port lock before initialization.
- adjust pr_flush() compiler barrier to ensure proper local variable
usage.
Known issues
None.
The delta patch against v6.8.2-rt10 is appended below and can be found here:
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/incr/patch-6.8.2-rt10-rt11.patch.xz
You can get this release via the git tree at:
