Hello RT Folks!

I'm pleased to announce the 5.4.182-rt71 stable release.

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: v5.4-rt
Head SHA1: 8f83fc7941f704f55939adaa778afd8ae76662e4

Or to build 5.4.182-rt71 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-5.4.182.xz

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.4/patch-5.4.182-rt71.patch.xz


You can also build from 5.4.182-rt70 by applying the incremental patch:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.4/incr/patch-5.4.182-rt70-rt71.patch.xz

Enjoy!

Tom
