From 30fd049afcfed50e022704036e8629d6bdfe84e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rakib Mullick Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:33:56 +0600 Subject: sched: Remove sched_switch Currently we don't utilize the sched_switch field anymore. But, simply removing sched_switch field from the middle of the sched_stat output will break tools. So, to stay compatible we hardcode it to zero and remove the field from the scheduler data structures. Update the schedstat documentation accordingly.
