[PATCH] sched: fix cond_resched_softirq() offset
Remove the __resched_legal() check: it is conceptually broken. The biggest problem it had is that it can mask buggy cond_resched() calls. A cond_resched() call is only legal if we are not in an atomic context, with two narrow exceptions: - if the system is booting - a reacquire_kernel_lock() down() done while PREEMPT_ACTIVE is set But __resched_legal() hid this and just silently returned whenever these primitives were called from invalid contexts. (Same goes for cond_resched_locked() and cond_resched_softirq()). Furthermore, the __legal_resched(0) call was buggy in that it caused unnecessarily long softirq latencies via cond_resched_softirq(). (which is only called from softirq-off sections, hence the code did nothing.) The fix is to resurrect the efficiency of the might_sleep checks and to only allow the narrow exceptions.
