Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Remove stale references to LAST_BUDDY and SKIP_BUDDY
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2025 14:31:28 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250314090128.25141-1-vineethr@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Commit 5e963f2bd465 ("sched/fair: Commit to EEVDF") removed the
functionality associated with LAST_BUDDY and SKIP_BUDDY. However,
some outdated references remained in the comments for pick_next_entity
and check_preempt_wakeup_fair. This commit cleans up those comments
to maintain clarity and correctness.

No functional change intended.
