Subject: stable: a59f4e079d19464eebb9b06513a1d4f55fdae5ba needs backport ?

Message-ID: <51FB7DF5.8030600@huawei.com> (raw)
commit a59f4e079d19464eebb9b06513a1d4f55fdae5ba
Author: Zhu Yanhai <gaoyang.zyh@taobao.com>

sched: Fix the broken sched_rr_get_interval()
Without this patch, syscall sched_rr_get_interval() can return wrong
value, and the bug was introduced in 2.6.24, so this looks like a
candidate for stable kernel.
The concern for backporting is that this might break some userspace
programs? As the changelog says:
[ Since this is an ABI and an old bug, we'll test this via a
slow upstream route, to hopefully discover any app breakage. ]
