Subject: sched: deadline: Add some helper variables to cleanup deadline logic
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=96a6988fb595ab1d77f60b33ea392b2e15b68605;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

sched: deadline: Add some helper variables to cleanup deadline logic

As part of an improvement to handling pushable deadline tasks,
Peter suggested this cleanup[1], to use helper values for
dl_entity and dl_rq in the enqueue_task_dl() and
put_prev_task_dl() functions. There should be no functional
change from this patch.

To make sure this cleanup change doesn't obscure later logic
changes, I've split it into its own patch.
