Subject: [PATCH RESEND] sched: deadline: Fix confusing comments about selection of top pi-waiter
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 19:24:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170713022429.10307-1-joelaf@google.com> (raw)

This comment in the code is incomplete, and I believe it begs a definition of
dl_boosted to make sense of the condition that follows. Rewrite the comment and
also rearrange the condition that follows to reflect the first condition "we
have a top pi-waiter which is a SCHED_DEADLINE task" in that order. Also fix a
typo that follows.
