[PATCH RT 0/5] Linux 4.4.12-rt20-rc1

[PATCH RT 0/5] Linux 4.4.12-rt20-rc1

[Steven Rostedt]

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 4.4.12-rt20-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 7/14/2016.

Enjoy,

-- Steve


To build 4.4.12-rt20-rc1 directly, the following patches should be applied:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-4.4.tar.xz

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-4.4.12.xz

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.4/patch-4.4.12-rt20-rc1.patch.xz

You can also build from 4.4.12-rt19 by applying the incremental patch:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.4/incr/patch-4.4.12-rt19-rt20-rc1.patch.xz

[PATCH RT 2/5] mm: perform lru_add_drain_all() remotely

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-mm-perform-lru_add_drain_all-remotely.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3201 bytes --]

4.4.12-rt20-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>

lru_add_drain_all() works by scheduling lru_add_drain_cpu() to run
on all CPUs that have non-empty LRU pagevecs and then waiting for
the scheduled work to complete. However, workqueue threads may never
have the chance to run on a CPU that's running a SCHED_FIFO task.
This causes lru_add_drain_all() to block forever.

This commit solves this problem by changing lru_add_drain_all()
to drain the LRU pagevecs of remote CPUs. This is done by grabbing
swapvec_lock and calling lru_add_drain_cpu().

PS: This is based on an idea and initial implementation by
    Rik van Riel.

[PATCH RT 3/5] trace: correct off by one while recording the trace-event

[Steven Rostedt]

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

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

Trace events like raw_syscalls show always a preempt code of one. The
reason is that on PREEMPT kernels rcu_read_lock_sched_notrace()
increases the preemption counter and the function recording the counter
is caller within the RCU section.

I am not the Author of this commit (and it is not yet in TIP). I haven't
had the chance (yet) to test this and check if it breaks / works so I
did not yet respond to your patch.

Assuming this behaves equally I don't mind a diffent patch in stable vs
the devel tree (and I hope to test this & get into the devel tree
within this week).

That's why I added the "Changed this to upstream version".

This is what's going into mainline. See commit e947841c0dce in
linux-next.

Oh, I forgot to add, I don't go through the tip tree.
