[PATCH RT 0/3] Linux 3.8.13.14-rt31-rc1

[Steven Rostedt]

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.8.13.14-rt31-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 4/30/2014.

Enjoy,

-- Steve

[PATCH RT 1/3] net: gianfar: do not disable interrupts

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-net-gianfar-do-not-disable-interrupts.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7541 bytes --]

3.8.13.14-rt31-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

each per-queue lock is taken with spin_lock_irqsave() except in the case
where all of them are taken for some kind of serialisation. As an
optimisation local_irq_save() is used so that lock_tx_qs() and
lock_rx_qs() can use just the spin_lock() variant instead.
On RT local_irq_save() behaves differently so we use the nort()
variant.
Lockdep screems easily by "ethtool -K eth0 rx off tx off"

What remains is missing lockdep annotation that makes lockdep think
lock_tx_qs() may cause a dead lock.

[PATCH RT 2/3] rcu: make RCU_BOOST default on RT

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-rcu-make-RCU_BOOST-default-on-RT.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1060 bytes --]

3.8.13.14-rt31-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

Since it is no longer invoked from the softirq people run into OOM more
often if the priority of the RCU thread is too low. Making boosting
default on RT should help in those case and it can be switched off if
someone knows better.
