Subject: [git pull] scheduler fix
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2008 11:33:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080122103344.GA18673@elte.hu> (raw)


Linus, please pull the latest scheduler-fixes git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-sched.git

it's a fix for a late-breaking bug: if the root user / admin sets the 
new /sys/uids/*/cpu_share tunable too low from the default 1024 then we 
can crash/hang. [ in sched-devel.git we've already had MIN_GROUP_SHARES 
for a long time to enforce this limit - but it was not backported. ]

	Ingo
