CC kernel/sched.o
kernel/sched.c: In function ‘task_group’:
kernel/sched.c:321: error: implicit declaration of function ‘task_rq’
kernel/sched.c:321: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘int’)
make[1]: *** [kernel/sched.o] Error 1
I had to apply with fuzz. Did it mess up?
static inline struct task_group *task_group(struct task_struct *p)
{
struct cgroup_subsys_state *css;
css = task_subsys_state_check(p, cpu_cgroup_subsys_id,
lockdep_is_held(&task_rq(p)->lock));
return container_of(css, struct task_group, css);
}
