Subject: [PATCH] sched_fair: test list head instead of list entry in throttle_cfs_rq()
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2015 12:41:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1435174907-432-1-git-send-email-xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> (raw)

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.
