Subject: [PATCH PREEMPT_RT 4.19 STABLE] rt:  PREEMPT_RT safety net for backported patches
Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2022 15:46:27 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220130221944.7992CC340E4@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)

While doing some 4.19-rt cleanup work, I stumbled across the fact that parts of
two backported patches were dependent on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, rather than
the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL used in 4.19 and earlier RT series.  The commits
in the linux-stable-rt v4.19-rt branch are:

dad4c6a33bf4e mm: slub: Don't resize the location tracking cache on PREEMPT_RT
e626b6f873f2c net: Treat __napi_schedule_irqoff() as __napi_schedule() on PREEMPT_RT

Discussing this at the Stable RT maintainers meeting, Steven Rostedt suggested that
we automagically select CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT if CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL is on, giving
us a safety net for any subsequently backported patches. Here's my first cut at
that patch.

I suspect we'll need a similar patch for stable RT kernels < 4.19.
