From b654f7de41b0e3903ee2b51d3b8db77fe52ce728 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 22 May 2012 14:04:28 +0200 Subject: sched: Make sure to not re-read variables after validation We could re-read rq->rt_avg after we validated it was smaller than total, invalidating the check and resulting in an unintended negative.
