From d84525a845cc2617d638349f8756a9fec9ac8113 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Sun, 17 May 2015 12:53:10 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] sched/preempt: Fix preempt notifiers documentation about hlist_del() within unsafe iteration preempt_notifier_unregister() documents: "This is safe to call from within a preemption notifier." However, both fire_sched_in_preempt_notifiers() and fire_sched_out_preempt_notifiers() are using hlist_for_each_entry(), which is not safe against entry removal during iteration. Inspection of the KVM code does not reveal any use of preempt_notifier_unregister() within the preempt notifiers. Therefore, fix the comment.
