Subject: [PATCH] do_sched_setscheduler(): don't take tasklist_lock
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5fe1d75f34974046fffcca5e22fb8a7b42fded33;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

[PATCH] do_sched_setscheduler(): don't take tasklist_lock

Use rcu locks instead. sched_setscheduler() now takes ->siglock
before reading ->signal->rlim[].
