Anyone against > applying it? Needless to say that I would like to see it applied. This patch removes duplicate strings and moves all task state related definitions to a single location to prevent future changes from being made at one place and omitted at another place. In addition, if fixes an incorrectly displayed task state of the sched_switch trace event (which probably was the result of having the same info at several places). The principle of this patch made it already into PREEMPT_RT of 2.6.31 and 2.6.33 nearly 3 months ago - and is running smoothly since then. Thanks for taking care of the patch. Carsten.
