Subject: [ANNOUNCE] v5.0.21-rt16

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v5.0.21-rt16 patch set. 

Changes since v5.0.21-rt15:

  - Do not invoke softirq if ksoftirqd has been scheduled. This change
    aligns softirq handling closer with mainline. A busy network driver
    will now handover further processing to ksoftirqd. This wasn't the
    case since the recent softirq rework.

Known issues
     - rcutorture is currently broken on -RT. Reported by Juri Lelli.

The delta patch against v5.0.21-rt15 is appended below and can be found here:
 
     https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.0/incr/patch-5.0.21-rt15-rt16.patch.xz

You can get this release via the git tree at:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git v5.0.21-rt16

The RT patch against v5.0.21 can be found here:

    https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.0/older/patch-5.0.21-rt16.patch.xz
