Subject: [patch] sched: signedness bug in yield_to()
Date: Fri, 23 May 2014 10:20:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140523102042.GA7267@mwanda> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130205113751.GA20521@elgon.mountain>
yield_to() is supposed to return -ESRCH if there is no task to
yield to, but because the type is bool that is the same as returning
true.
The only place I see which cares is kvm_vcpu_on_spin().
