[GIT pull] sched fix for 4.9

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sat Oct 08 2016 - 09:34:10 EST


Linus,

please pull the latest sched-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-for-linus

A revert of a commit which pointelessly widened a preempt disabled section
which in turn caused might_sleep() to trigger. The patch intended to
prevent usage of smp_processor_id() in preemptible context, but the usage
in that case is fine because the thread is pinned on a single cpu and
therefore cannot be migrated off.

Thanks,

tglx
