[ANNOUNCE] v5.4.3-rt1v5.4.3-rt1-patches

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v5.4.3-rt1 patch set.

Changes since v5.2.21-rt15:

  - Rebase to v5.4

  - CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is part of v5.4. While rebasing I merged
    CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_BASE and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL into
    CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. This switch depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_RT (which is
    currently provided by arm, powerpc and x86) and EXPERT.

Known issues
     - None

You can get this release via the git tree at:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git v5.4.3-rt1

 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: Don't disable interrupts independently of the
  lock

+The locks (active.lock and rq->lock) need to be taken with disabled
+interrupts. This is done in i915_request_retire() by disabling the
 interrupts independently of the locks itself.
 While local_irq_disable()+spin_lock() equals spin_lock_irq() on vanilla
-it does not on RT. Also, it is not obvious if there is a special reason
-to why the interrupts are disabled independently of the lock.
+it does not on PREEMPT_RT.
+Chris Wilson confirmed that local_irq_disable() was just introduced as
+an optimisation to avoid enabling/disabling interrupts during
+lock/unlock combo.
 
 Enable/disable interrupts as part of the locking instruction.
