From b99def8b961448f5b9a550dddeeb718e3975e7a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:02:03 +0200 Subject: sched/core: Rework TASK_DEAD preemption exception TASK_DEAD is special in that the final schedule call from do_exit() must be done with preemption disabled. This means we end up scheduling with a preempt_count() higher than usual (3 instead of the 'expected' 2). Since future patches will want to rely on an invariant preempt_count() value during schedule, fix this up.
