From 5fe1d75f34974046fffcca5e22fb8a7b42fded33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:00:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] do_sched_setscheduler(): don't take tasklist_lock Use rcu locks instead. sched_setscheduler() now takes ->siglock before reading ->signal->rlim[].
