sched_setscheduler() API bug in Linux-next

["Peter Teoh" <htmldeveloper@gmail.com>]

I am running on the latest git-updated linux-next (using git fetch -
right? version is 2.6.26-rc4-next-20080530).

After I run my stap script:

probe kernel.function("*@mm/swapfile.c").call {
        printf ("%s -> %s\n", thread_indent(1), probefunc())
        print_backtrace();
        printf("\n");
}
probe kernel.function("*@mm/swapfile.c").return {
        printf ("%s <- %s\n", thread_indent(-1), probefunc())
        printf("\n");
}

I got the next message at the console:
