The patch titled
revert 'sched: redundant reschedule when set_user_nice() boosts a prio of a task from the "expired" array'
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
revert-sched-redundant-reschedule-when-set_user_nice-boosts-a-prio-of-a-task-from-the-expired-array.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: revert 'sched: redundant reschedule when set_user_nice() boosts a prio of a task from the "expired" array'
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Con says:
This is no good, sorry. The one I saw originally was with the staircase
deadline cpu scheduler in situ and was different.
#define TASK_PREEMPTS_CURR(p, rq) \
((p)->prio < (rq)->curr->prio)
(((p)->prio < (rq)->curr->prio) && ((p)->array == (rq)->active))
This will fail to wake up a runqueue for a task that has been migrated to the
expired array of a runqueue which is otherwise idle which can happen with smp
balancing,
