[PATCH RT 04/20] preempt-lazy: Add the lazy-preemption check to preempt_schedule()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Mar 02 2016 - 10:43:55 EST


3.18.27-rt27-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Probably in the rebase onto v4.1 this check got moved into less commonly used
preempt_schedule_notrace(). This patch ensures that both functions use it.
