If the function bfq_update_next_in_service is invoked as a consequence of the activation or requeueing of an entity, say E, and finds out that E belongs to a higher-priority class than that of the current next-in-service entity, then it sets next_in_service directly to E. But this may lead to anomalous schedules, because E may happen not be eligible for service, because its virtual start time is higher than the system virtual time for its service tree. This commit addresses this issue by simply removing this direct switch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
