Subject: sched/fair: Do not announce throttled next buddy in dequeue_task_fair()
X-Git-Tag: v4.7-rc5~6^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.cascardo.eti.br/?p=cascardo%2Flinux.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=754bd598be9bbc953bc709a9e8ed7f3188bfb9d7

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().
