[PATCH] Enqueue deprioritized RT tasks to head of prio array none

Description IBM Bug Proxy 2008-07-07 12:08:21 UTC

According to the SUS, when a SCHED_FIFO task's priority is lowered, it should be
added to the head of the corresponding priority array:

Peter Z. noticed this and wrote a patch to address it:

The dequeue_rt_stack() apparently still needs some work according to peterz
comments.

The enqueue_task changed in 2.6.25, so a backport will be required.  It's a
simple patch, so that shouldn't pose a problem.

I've backported the patch and have an R2 patch ready.  Currently under test on
elm3b172 running release-testing.sh.
