3.8.13.25 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ce5f7f8200ca2504f6f290044393d73ca314965a upstream. The way we read POSIX one should only call sched_getparam() when sched_getscheduler() returns either SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR. Given that we currently return sched_param::sched_priority=0 for all others, extend the same behaviour to SCHED_DEADLINE.
