Subject[ANNOUNCE] 4.4.229-rt200
Date
Hello RT-list!

I'm pleased to announce the 4.4.229-rt200 stable release.

This release is just an update to the new stable 4.4.215 version.

Note: This update required dealing with a conflict in net/core/dev.c, where
devnet_rename_seq was moved from a seqence count to an RWSEM and renamed
to devnet_rename_sem. If you encounter runtime issues that show tracebacks
in net/core/dev.c, please let me know.

Patch "net: Add a mutex around devnet_rename_seq" dropped in favour of
602c47fbf46b ("net: core: device_rename: Use rwsem instead of a seqcount")

Known issues:

sigwaittest with hackbench as workload is able to trigger a crash on x86_64,
the same as reported for the v4.4.220-rt196 release. The crash seems to
be triggered by a BPF program. IIRC, BPF was never supported in v4.4-rt
and I just forgot to disable in my configuration.

You can get this release via the git tree at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git

branch: v4.4-rt
Head SHA1: dd9655ee04bfb54f781974e3074a0caeb2423623

Or to build 4.4.229-rt200 directly, the following patches should be applied:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/patch-4.4.229.xz

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.4/patch-4.4.229-rt200.patch.xz

Enjoy!
Daniel
