From 6c6c54e1807faf116724451ef2bd14993780470a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 17:37:07 +0200 Subject: sched: Fix/clarify set_task_cpu() locking rules Sergey reported a CONFIG_PROVE_RCU warning in push_rt_task where set_task_cpu() was called with both relevant rq->locks held, which should be sufficient for running tasks since holding its rq->lock will serialize against sched_move_task(). Update the comments and fix the task_group() lockdep test.
