[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 521c42990e9d561ed5ed9f501f07639d0512b3c9 upstream.

tick_check_replacement() returns if a replacement of clock_event_device is
possible or not. It does this as the first check:

	if (tick_check_percpu(curdev, newdev, smp_processor_id()))
		return false;

Thats wrong. tick_check_percpu() returns true when the device is
useable. Check for false instead.
