Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] sched: Warn on long periods of pending need_resched

Peter,

Since you've already pulled the need_resched warning patch into your
tree, I'm including just the diff based on that patch (in response to
Mel's comments) below. This should be squashed into the original
patch.

Thanks,
Josh
