Dear RT folks!
I'm pleased to announce the v4.11.9-rt7 patch set.
Changes since v4.11.9-rt6:
- Alex Shi fixed a "scheduling while atomic" bug on arm64 in the
CPU idle code.
- Vikram Mulukutla reported a problem where a parked CPU-hotplug
thread was still on the runqueue. Patched by Thomas Gleixner.
Known issues
- CPU hotplug got a little better but can deadlock.
The delta patch against v4.11.9-rt6 is appended below and can be found here:
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.11/incr/patch-4.11.9-rt6-rt7.patch.xz
You can get this release via the git tree at:

The RT patch against v4.11.9 can be found here:
