From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 345a957fcc95630bf5535d7668a59ed983eb49a7 ] do_sched_yield() invokes schedule() with interrupts disabled which is not allowed. This goes back to the pre git era to commit a6efb709806c ("[PATCH] irqlock patch 2.5.27-H6") in the history tree. Reenable interrupts and remove the misleading comment which "explains" it.
