I'm pleased to announce the v3.12.0-rt1 patch set. Changes since v3.10.18-rt14 - updated to v3.12 - dropped SLAB support. It was broken in v3.10 and therefore not available for RT. Nobody complained except that it did not compile on !RT. Since SLUB performs a little better compared to SLAB and is the default allocator I think it is okay to drop SLAB support. - the PREEMPT_RT Kconfig patches are now very early in the queue. This is the first release of the v3.12 kernel. It run a couple of days on powerpc and x86 without an accident :) Known issues: - bcache is disabled. - an ancient race (since we got sleeping spinlocks) where the TASK_TRACED state is temporary replaced while waiting on a rw lock and the task can't be traced. The RT patch against 3.12 can be found here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.10/3.12/patch-3.12.0-rt1.patch.xz The split quilt queue is available at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.10/3.12/patches-3.12.0-rt1.tar.xz and it will be moved to the usual location once I able to do so.
