TASK_DEAD of the task that registered the preempt notifier. The idea is that I want to hold on to the notifier even when exiting to userspace. Since userspace is under no obligation to call kvm again, I need a chance to unregister the notifier and otherwise clean up. Eh, looking at the code, we'll have a ->sched_out() after the state is set to TASK_DEAD. So all we need to do is examine the state. We'll need to examine the state anyway to see if we were preempted or blocking. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
