Dear RT Folks,

I'm pleased to announce the 3.14.10-rt7 release. 3.14.10-rt6 is a not
announced update to 3.14.10 without any RT changes aside of resolving
the patch conflicts.

Changes since 3.14.10-rt6:

   * Do not clear PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag in select_fallback_rq() -
     from Steven

   * Prevent workqueue deadlock/stall observed with XFS


A few words on the status and the future of RT:
-----------------------------------------------

The situation since last years RTLWS (https://lwn.net/Articles/572740/)
has not improved at all, it's worse than before. 

While shortly after RTLWS quite some people promised to whip up proper
funding, nothing has materialized and my personal situation is worse
than before.

Sorry to hear that funding hasn't as yet happened.

I'm really tired of all the politics involved, the blantant lies and
the marketing bullshit which I have to bear. I learned a few month ago
that a certain kernel vendor invented most of RT anyway and is the
expert in this field, so the customers dont have to worry about my
statements.

Wow, so someone thinks their customers either can't or won't read.  That
kind of marketing can backfire in a big way.
