Subject: sched: Fix schedule_tail() to disable preemption
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~2757^2~47
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1a43a14a5bd9c32dbd7af35e35a5afa703944bcb;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

sched: Fix schedule_tail() to disable preemption

finish_task_switch() enables preemption, so post_schedule(rq) can be
called on the wrong (and even dead) CPU. Afaics, nothing really bad
can happen, but in this case we can wrongly clear rq->post_schedule
on that CPU. And this simply looks wrong in any case.
