Hello,
I've noticed that rt-preempt patches comes usually for a specific
kernel version.
In case I have some kernel version which does not match the RT patch
exactly, yet should be applied with the patch:
Are there any tips/rules as to how to merge the patch into sources ?
Thanks you,
Ran

Depends how you define 'some kernel version'. If the last RT patch is
e.g. 4.9.13-rt10 and you have 4.9.14 then applying -rt10 is usualy just
working.
If you have a base kernel version which was never supported by RT, e.g. 4.7
that's a different story. Neither the 4.6-rt nor the 4.8-rt patch will
apply and you are on your own.
Thanks,
