Subject: [RFC, PATCH 8/9] CPU Controller V2 - task_cpu(p) needs to be correct always
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 23:03:20 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060928173320.GI8746@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060928172520.GA8746@in.ibm.com>

We rely very much on task_cpu(p) to be correct at all times, so that we can
correctly find the task_grp_rq from which the task has to be removed or added
to.

There is however one place in the scheduler where this assumption of
task_cpu(p) being correct is broken. This patch fixes that piece of code.

(Thanks to Balbir Singh for pointing this out to me)
