Hi,

in v4.9.320 some random-core patches broke RT. This is a series of
backports to align with later RT versions and keep things working again.

Sorry for taking so long to start working these.  Are these patches to be
applied to v4.9.320, or to the RT patches prior to the linux-stable merge?

Or are these patches the updates to the patches that conflict with v4.9.320 as
I rebase?

I'm guessing the latter as the patches don't seem to work on just the last RT
release or v4.9.320 directly.

Bottom line, I'm not sure how you expected me to use these 9 patches.

Sorry for being dense.

The commit I cited was backported into v4.9-stable, I *think* it is part
of v4.9-stable as of v4.9.320. If you apply the RT queue then you should
have conflicts. The "old" RT patches for random are obsolete if I
remember correctly.

No worries. If in doubt, make a -rc and let me look over it or if
completely in doubt yell and I prepare a complete queue.
