Linux v5.4.143-rt64-rc1

From: Tom Zanussi <[email protected]>

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 5.4.143-rt64-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 2021-09-07.

To build 5.4.143-rt64-rc1 directly, the following patches should be applied:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.4.tar.xz

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/patch-5.4.143.xz

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.4/patch-5.4.143-rt64-rc1.patch.xz

You can also build from 5.4.143-rt63 by applying the incremental patch:

Enjoy,

There's no chance of sleeping here, the reader is giving up the lock and possibly waking up the writer who is waiting on it.
