[PATCH RT 0/5] [ANNOUNCE] 3.2.52-rt74-rc1

[PATCH RT 0/5] [ANNOUNCE] 3.2.52-rt74-rc1

[Steven Rostedt]

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.2.52-rt74-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 11/25/2013.

Enjoy,

-- Steve

[PATCH RT 1/5] genirq: Set the irq thread policy without checking CAP_SYS_NICE

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-genirq-Set-the-irq-thread-policy-without-checking-CA.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1500 bytes --]

3.2.52-rt74-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@pcs.com>

In commit ee23871389 ("genirq: Set irq thread to RT priority on
creation") we moved the assigment of the thread's priority from the
thread's function into __setup_irq(). That function may run in user
context for instance if the user opens an UART node and then driver
calls requests in the ->open() callback. That user may not have
CAP_SYS_NICE and so the irq thread won't run with the SCHED_OTHER
policy.

This patch uses sched_setscheduler_nocheck() so we omit the CAP_SYS_NICE
check which is otherwise required for the SCHED_OTHER policy.

After a longer thread it was decided to drop the preempt_disable()/
enable() invocations which were meant for -RT and Mario Kleiner looks
for a replacement.
