If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski commit fd7de1e8d5b2b2b35e71332fafb899f584597150 upstream. Locklessly doing is_idle_task(rq->curr) is only okay because of RCU protection. The older variant of the broken code checked rq->curr == rq->idle instead and therefore didn't need RCU.
