[ANNOUNCE] 4.4.162-rt175

[Daniel Wagner]

Hello RT Folks!

I'm pleased to announce the 4.4.162-rt175 stable release.

This release is just an update to the new stable 4.4.120 version
and no RT specific changes have been made.

This version still qspinlock enabled, because I wanted to update first
to the last stable release and then resend the patch which drops back
to ticket spinlocks.

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: 795fdff63ee1ad9582e242ab80e9257b64770cef

Or to build 4.4.162-rt175 directly, the following patches should be applied:

  https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.4.tar.xz

  https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/patch-4.4.162.xz

  https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.4/4.4/patch-4.4.162-rt175.patch.xz


You can also build from 4.4.157-rt174 by applying the incremental patch:

  https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.4/4.4/incr/patch-4.4.157-rt174-rt175.patch.xz

Enjoy!
   Daniel

I forgot to mention about the tagging/counting policy change. The
stable-rt maintainers have decided to use the same tagging/counting
strategy for all the stable-rt trees. If there is no merge conflict the
latest stable release is merged and tagged. All intermediates merge
commit and tag is not done anymore unless there is a conflict. The
conflict will be resolved and a merge commit with tag will be applied.

Thanks,
Daniel
