Ah, I see. Forgot about the length of my comment line.

Should I reformat my patch and send it again?

Thanks,
Michael

Now we are looking for an even higher priority task in the other rt_rq's. idx is the highest priority in the current candidate rt_rq. In the current 3.3 code, if idx is equal to next->prio, we would start scanning the tasks in that rt_rq and replace the current candidate task with a task from that rt_rq. But the new task would only have a priority that is equal to our previous candidate task, so we have not advanced our goal of finding a higher prio task. So we should avoid the extra work by continuing on to the next rt_rq if idx is equal to next->prio.

You should limit characters of each line to 80 if possible.

And before sending you patch, linux-source/scripts/checkpatch.pl maybe
give you some clues whether there is some warning/error. If there are,
fix them.

Only for what your patch wants to show:
