From d49db342f0e276b354383b3281c5668b6b80f5c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2015 12:41:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Test list head instead of list entry in throttle_cfs_rq() According to the comments, we need to test if this is the first throttled task, however, list_empty() tests on the entry cfs_rq->throttled_list, not the head, this is wrong. This is a bug because we don't re-init the list entry after removing it from the list, so list_empty() could return false even if the list is really empty.
