Hello RT-list!

I'm pleased to announce the 5.10.204-rt100 stable release.

This release is an RT-only update.
The only change in this release is specific to RT:

rt: mm/page_alloc: backport missing bits from __build_all_zonelists() fix

A while ago upstream landed commit a2ebb51575828 ("mm/page_alloc: use
write_seqlock_irqsave() instead write_seqlock() + local_irq_save().")
to fix a problem that had already been worked on v5.10-rt via commit
7bdd3bd5143a4 ("Revert "mm/page_alloc: fix potential deadlock on
zonelist_update_seqseqlock""). Sebastian pointed out it was important
to backport the missing elements of a2ebb51575828 for code consistency.

You can get this release via the git tree at:
