[PATCH RT 06/22] preempt-lazy: Add the lazy-preemption check to preempt_schedule()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Mar 02 2016 - 10:14:17 EST


4.1.15-rt18-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Probably in the rebase onto v4.1 this check got moved into less commonly used
preempt_schedule_notrace(). This patch ensures that both functions use it.
