Subject: Re: [patch 2.6.16-mm2 4/9] sched throttle tree extract - remove kthread barrier
Date: Sat, 01 Apr 2006 10:51:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1143881494.7617.32.camel@homer> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1143881058.7617.24.camel@homer>

This patch removes the last barrier between a normal task using dynamic
priorities and kthreads using the same.  In testing, this separation has
proven to be unnecessary.
