Re: [PATCH v4 1/6] sched/fair: Fix reschedule which is generated on throttled cfs_rq

[Kirill Tkhai]

Hi, Wanpeng,

the commit commentary confuses, I'm agree. Really it's just a cleanup.

Because one of task's (grand)parents in hierarhy may be throtthed and
dequeued.

But task_struct::on_rq check doesn't guarantee this too. So, just ignore
commit commentary; the commentary is wrong.

No, it not cleared. The commit commentary should be:
"sched: Cleanup. Check task_struct::on_rq instead of sched_entity::on_rq,
because it is the same for a task"
