[PATCH 04/21] sched: implement scheduler notifiers

Tejun Heo
2009-11-16T17:19:08Z

Implement scheduler notifiers. This is superset of preempt notifiers
which will be removed in favor of new notifiers. Four notifications
are defined - activated, deactivated, in and out. In and out are
identical to preempt notifiers. Activated and deactivated are called
when a task's readiness to run changes. The first three are always
called under rq lock. Out may not be called under rq lock depending
on architecture.

The notifier block contains union of all four callbacks to avoid
defining separate interface for each.
