Subject: [ 033/180] sched: Fix signed unsigned comparison in check_preempt_tick()

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Galbraith <efault@....de>

commit d7d8294415f0ce4254827d4a2a5ee88b00be52a8 upstream.

Signed unsigned comparison may lead to superfluous resched if leftmost
is right of the current task, wasting a few cycles, and inadvertently
_lengthening_ the current task's slice.
