| + | ===== Stable RT Releases ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the PREEMPT_RT patch was ported to a Linux kernel version that is flagged as a [[https://kernel.org|stable release at kernel.org]], then that port will continue to be forward ported with each new stable release for that kernel version. The stable kernels can be cloned from the [[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/|stable git repository]] as well as downloaded as [[https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/|single patches or a tarball of a quilt series of patches]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The PREEMPT_RT stable releases are updated in two fashions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Merged with the upstream Linux stable kernel. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Backports of commits from the [[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git/|current PREEMPT_RT development repository]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tagging policy of the PREEMPT_RT stable releases. Each PREEMPT_RT stable release is tagged with the version number of the upstream Linux stable kernel as well as its own "-rt" counter that is appended. The -rt counter will increment for the following: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * When forward ported to the latest upstream Linux stable version. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * When any merge with a upstream Linux stable causes a conflict. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * When a backport of the PREEMPT_RT development branch is done. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A backport will not be done with a forward port of a stable version. They will be done separately, and tagged separately. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The "-rebase" branch is how the series of patches are created. The "-rebase" is only done for forward ports to the latest upstream Linux stable versions, and for backports of the PREEMPT_RT development branch. It is not done for a conflict with a upstream Linux stable merge, unless that stable version is the latest one. As the name suggests, the "-rebase" branch will rebase, to allow each commit added by the PREEMPT_RT code to be applied in the order to the upstream Linux stable version it is based on. This is not the case with the normal "-rt" branch, which is never rebased. | ||
