From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sun Sep 27 2015 - 08:22:18 EST


Linus,

please pull the latest sched-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-for-linus

A single buf fix for the scheduler:

- Prevent dequeueing of the idle task when setting the cpus allowed
mask.

Thanks,

tglx
