Subject: [PATCH] sched: fix string comparison in features (v2)
Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 17:47:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100913214700.GB16118@Krystal> (raw)

Fix incorrect handling of the following case:

INTERACTIVE
INTERACTIVE_SOMETHING_ELSE

The comparison only checks up to each element's length.

Changelog since v1:
- Embellish using some Rostedisms.
