Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v6.3-rc3-rt5 patch set. 

Changes since v6.3-rc3-rt4:

  - Small updates to the printk series.

  - Mel Gorman reported that LTP's dio_truncate does not complete on
    PREEMPT_RT because rw_semaphore and rwlock_t locks are always unfair
    to writers. This has been changed by forcing the reader into to slow
    path and so allowing the writer to obtain the lock.

  - Crystal Wood reported that a filesystem (XFS) may deadlock while
    flushing during schedule. This has been mitigated by flushing IO
    before blocking on a lock.
    As a side effect, there will be more flushed IO with RTMUTEX
    debugging enabled because here the fast-path fails always (in order
    to use the slowpath for testing).

  - The TPM and zram patch was slightly altered while they have been
    reposted.

Known issues:
	None.

The delta patch against v6.3-rc3-rt4 is appended below and can be found here:
 
     https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.3/incr/patch-6.3-rc3-rt4-rt5.patch.xz
