From 4a8342d233a39ee582e9f7260e12d2f5fd194a05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 15:18:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Revert task flag re-ordering, add comments Roland points out that the flags end up having non-obvious dependencies elsewhere, so revert aa55a08687059aa169d10a313c41f238c2070488 and add some comments about why things are as they are. We'll just have to fix up the broken comparisons. Roland has a patch.
