sched: current instead rq->current

[Colin Vidal]

Hello,

At the beginning of __schedule (kernel/sched/core.c), the current task
is get with rq->curr. I try to to understand why not directly using
current instead?

Since a runqueue is specific to a CPU, it dosen't make sense to get the
the current task of another CPU's runqueue. Yes?

I try the following of Linus's master branch

-ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂint cpu;
Â
-ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂcpu = smp_processor_id();
-ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂrq = cpu_rq(cpu);
-ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂprev = rq->curr;
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂrq = cpu_rq(smp_processor_id());
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂprev = current;

and it seems to work (only tested on x86-64), but... To simple?

Thanks!

Colin
