I'm pleased to announce the v3.14-rt1 patch set. Changes since v3.12.15-rt25 - I dropped the sparc64 patches I had in the queue. They did not apply cleanly, the code in v3.14 changed in the MMU area. Here is where I remembered that it was not working perfectly either. - Scott Wood pointed out that I forgot a return value in the latest gianfar fixup for RT. Return value added, thanks Scott. This -RT series didn't crashed within ~4h testing on my ARM and x86-32. x86-64 crashed after I started hackbench. I figured out that the crash does not happen with lazy-preempt disabled. Therefore the last but one patch in the queue disables lazy preempt on x86-64. With this change the test box survived ~2h without a crash. I look at this later but it looks good now. I decided to release it now because otherwise it would be lying around probably the next two weeks or so. So here it is, enjoy. Known issues: - bcache is disabled. The RT patch against 3.14 can be found here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.14/patch-3.14.0-rt1.patch.xz The split quilt queue is available at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.14/patches-3.14.0-rt1.tar.xz Sebastian
