I assume you meant patch 4?

My understanding is, this is due to 'left' being NULL in
pick_next_entity().

With patch 4, in pick_task_fair(), pick_next_entity() can be called with
an empty rbtree of cfs_rq and with a NULL 'curr'. This resulted in a
NULL 'left'. Before patch 4, this can't happen.

It's not clear to me why NULL is used instead of 'curr' for
pick_next_entity() in pick_task_fair(). My first thought is, 'curr' will
not be considered as next entity, but then 'curr' is checked after
pick_next_entity() returns so this shouldn't be the reason. Guess I
missed something.

Thanks,
Aaron
