Subject: sched: Fix out of scope variable access in sched_slice()
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3104bf03a923c72043a9c5009d9cd56724304916;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

sched: Fix out of scope variable access in sched_slice()

Access to local variable lw is aliased by usage of pointer load.
Access to pointer load in calc_delta_mine() happens when lw is
already out of scope.
