Subject: [2/5] sched: Fix string comparison in /proc/sched_features
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 13:30:47 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101119213231.035284079@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101119213300.GA4637@kroah.com>

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

commit 7740191cd909b75d75685fb08a5d1f54b8a9d28b upstream.

Fix incorrect handling of the following case:

 INTERACTIVE
 INTERACTIVE_SOMETHING_ELSE

The comparison only checks up to each element's length.

Changelog since v1:
 - Embellish using some Rostedtisms.
  [ mingo:                 ^^ == smaller and cleaner ]
