From 525628c73bd6af65f27d927e699e7460d7d55ed3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Byungchul Park Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 09:34:59 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Modify the comment about lock assumptions in migrate_task_rq_fair() The comment describing migrate_task_rq_fair() says that the caller should hold p->pi_lock. But in some cases the caller can hold task_rq(p)->lock instead of p->pi_lock. So the comment is broken and this patch fixes it.
