If we set a next or last buddy for a se that is not on_rq, we will end up taking a NULL pointer dereference in wakeup_preempt_entity via pick_next_task_fair. Detect when we would be about to do that, throw a warning and then refuse to actually set it. This has been suggested at least twice: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=146651668921468&w=2 https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/16/663 I recently had to debug a problem with these (we hadn't backported Konstantin's patches in this area) and this would have saved a lot of time/pain. Just do it.

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.
