4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Luca Abeni <luca.abeni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 295d6d5e373607729bcc8182c25afe964655714f upstream. Fix a bug introduced in: 72f9f3fdc928 ("sched/deadline: Remove dl_new from struct sched_dl_entity") After that commit, when switching to -deadline if the scheduling deadline of a task is in the past then switched_to_dl() calls setup_new_entity() to properly initialize the scheduling deadline and runtime. The problem is that the task is enqueued _before_ having its parameters initialized by setup_new_entity(), and this can cause problems. For example, a task with its out-of-date deadline in the past will potentially be enqueued as the highest priority one; however, its adjusted deadline may not be the earliest one. This patch fixes the problem by initializing the task's parameters before enqueuing it.
