[LITMUS^RT] Question about the RT_F_XXX flags

[Manohar Vanga]

Hey Glenn,

Any suggestions on how to replace this bit of code? I'm not entirely sure how to check for this condition (ie. task was suspended due to semaphore wait).

Thanks!

There are checks for this flag in sched_cedf.c and sched_gsn_edf.c however the flag itself if never set anywhere. Can I assume this is also an artifact from an older version and get rid of it? Or does it serve a purpose I am unable to see (with my grepping eyes :D)?
