=== Highlights == * Working RCU priority boosting bug: Cheng Xu encountered same bug with user-level program, so this is officially a scheduler bug. Fortunately, my workarounds still are working. * Sent Sedat Dilek two sets of diagnostics thus far, working up a third set. Problem is in wake-up path for per-CPU kthread. * Email and IRC with Thomas Gleixner, Andrew Morton, and Linus Torvalds on maintainership issue. * Interviewed two candidates for Kernel WG, both are +1. A third candidate was no-show. Will set up interview with fourth candidate as soon as I receive contact information. * Pre-Budapest definition/scheduling work. * Met with the incoming Kernel WG lead to review draft plans (which is only fair, given that he will be leading them up). We will put a transition plan together in Budapest. * Debriefed John Stultz on his meeting with the Android guys. John's discussions unearthed an additional suspend-blocker requirement, which I added to the list at [[https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroup/KernelConsolidation/Projects/AndroidSus...]].

== Miscellaneous == * Another iteration on Lai Jiangshan's RCU_PREEMPT inlining patches
