Subject: [061/244] sched: Separate the scheduler entry for preemption
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
commit c259e01a1ec90063042f758e409cd26b2a0963c8 upstream.
Block-IO and workqueues call into notifier functions from the
scheduler core code with interrupts and preemption disabled. These
calls should be made before entering the scheduler core.
To simplify this, separate the scheduler core code into
__schedule(). __schedule() is directly called from the places which
set PREEMPT_ACTIVE and from schedule(). This allows us to add the work
checks into schedule(), so they are only called when a task voluntary
goes to sleep.
