Subject: [PATCH -rt 1/2] Revert select_parent locking fix
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 12:12:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1277925145-8355-1-git-send-email-johnstul@us.ibm.com> (raw)

Patch against currrent 2.6.33-rt tree.

This reverts 697684652c217b241a07d9e261c7a20e9b072d43 which resolved a
locking issue with select_parent. Unfortunately the fix, which keeps
the entire subchain locked, breaks lockdep.

Reverting so a proper fix can follow.
