From 8592e6486a177a02f048567cb928bc3a1f9a86c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2009 12:56:46 +0900 Subject: sched: Revert 498657a478c60be092208422fefa9c7b248729c2 498657a478c60be092208422fefa9c7b248729c2 incorrectly assumed that preempt wasn't disabled around context_switch() and thus was fixing imaginary problem. It also broke KVM because it depended on ->sched_in() to be called with irq enabled so that it can do smp calls from there. Revert the incorrect commit and add comment describing different contexts under with the two callbacks are invoked. Avi: spotted transposed in/out in the added comment.
