Subject: [PATCH] sched: null domains
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc1~68^2~144
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=41c7ce9ad9a859871dffbe7dbc8b1f9571724e3c;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] sched: null domains

Fix the last 2 places that directly access a runqueue's sched-domain and
assume it cannot be NULL.

That allows the use of NULL for domain, instead of a dummy domain, to signify
no balancing is to happen.  No functional changes.
