Linus Torvalds fe3ad7a58b - Fix a stall on the CPU offline path due to mis-counting a deadline server
task twice as part of the runqueue's running tasks count
 
 - Fix a realtime tasks starvation case where failure to enqueue a timer whose
   expiration time is already in the past would cause repeated attempts to
   re-enqueue a deadline server task which leads to starving the former,
   realtime one
 
 - Prevent a delayed deadline server task stop from breaking the per-runqueue
   bandwidth tracking
 
 - Have a function checking whether the deadline server task has stopped,
   return the correct value

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
