[PATCH RT 0/6] [ANNOUNCE] 3.2.38-rt57-rc1 stable review

[Steven Rostedt]

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.2.38-rt57-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 2/8/2013.

Enjoy,

-- Steve

[PATCH RT 2/6] mmci: Remove bogus local_irq_save()

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-mmci-Remove-bogus-local_irq_save.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1243 bytes --]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

On !RT interrupt runs with interrupts disabled. On RT it's in a
thread, so no need to disable interrupts at all.
