[PATCH 1/8] x86, fpu: unlazy_fpu: don't reset thread.fpu_counter

From: riel
Date: Fri Feb 06 2015 - 15:04:05 EST


From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

It is not clear why the "else" branch clears ->fpu_counter, this makes
no sense.

If use_eager_fpu() then this has no effect. Otherwise, if we actually
wanted to prevent fpu preload after the context switch we would need to
reset it unconditionally, even if __thread_has_fpu().
