From 754bd598be9bbc953bc709a9e8ed7f3188bfb9d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2016 15:57:15 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Do not announce throttled next buddy in dequeue_task_fair() Hierarchy could be already throttled at this point. Throttled next buddy could trigger a NULL pointer dereference in pick_next_task_fair().
