[PATCH RT 0/4] [ANNOUNCE] 3.2.32-rt49-rc1 stable review

[Steven Rostedt]

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.2.32-rt49-rc1.

Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches too.

The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted when
the final release is out. This is just a review release (or release candidate).

The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the
final release is.

If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the next main release
on 11/2/2012.

Enjoy,

-- Steve

[PATCH RT 1/4] hrtimer: Raise softirq if hrtimer irq stalled

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-hrtimer-Raise-softirq-if-hrtimer-irq-stalled.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 893 bytes --]

From: Watanabe <shunsuke.watanabe@tel.com>

When the hrtimer stall detection hits the softirq is not raised.

[PATCH RT 2/4] rcu: Disable RCU_FAST_NO_HZ on RT

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-rcu-Disable-RCU_FAST_NO_HZ-on-RT.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 751 bytes --]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

This uses a timer_list timer from the irq disabled guts of the idle
code. Disable it for now to prevent wreckage.

[PATCH RT 3/4] net: netfilter: Serialize xt_write_recseq sections on RT

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0003-net-netfilter-Serialize-xt_write_recseq-sections-on-.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3058 bytes --]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The netfilter code relies only on the implicit semantics of
local_bh_disable() for serializing wt_write_recseq sections. RT breaks
that and needs explicit serialization here.
