Question: differences v5.11.10-lqx2 and v5.11.10-lqx1

[mabod]

What is the difference between v5.11.10-lqx2 and v5.11.10-lqx1?

If I look at this: https://github.com/zen-kernel/zen-kernel/compare/v5.11.10-lqx1...v5.11.10-lqx2 it looks like v5.11.10-lqx1 never had the full 5.11.10 source in it. But that is certainly a misinterpretation.

Can you explain, please?

And what does that mean for v5.11.10-zen1?

[mabod]

I guess it is all about the new liquorix patch set https://github.com/damentz/liquorix-package/releases/tag/5.11-22 which reverts two patches:

  * revert potentially buggy patches
    - Revert "locking/rwsem: Don't hog RCU read lock while optimistically spinning"
    - Revert "locking/mutex: Don't hog RCU read lock while optimistically spinning"

Is that correct?

For context, here's the full changelog. The part you missed that accounts for 99% of the changes are the release candidate patches:

linux-liquorix (5.11-22) unstable; urgency=medium

  * merge 5.11.11 rc patches
  * revert potentially buggy patches
    - Revert "locking/rwsem: Don't hog RCU read lock while optimistically spinning"
    - Revert "locking/mutex: Don't hog RCU read lock while optimistically spinning"
  * update version to 5.11.0-11.1

If you look at the git log --oneline output, you can see that the commits listed are reverted and then RC patches are applied. The reverts are being tested, thus are not in 5.11/master or 5.11/zen-sauce yet. The RC patches are temporary and are not pushed to Zen Kernel.

Output in-case yours doesn't look like mine:
