From a7bebf488791aa1036f3e6629daf01d01f705dcb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wanpeng Li Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2014 08:44:01 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched/deadline: Fix hrtick for a non-leftmost task After update_curr_dl() the current task might not be the leftmost task anymore. In that case do not start a new hrtick for it. In this case NEED_RESCHED will be set and the next schedule will start the hrtick for the new task if and when appropriate.
