Log: MFC r220198: Clearing the flag when preempting will let the preempted thread run too much time. This can finish in a scheduler deadlock with ping-pong between two threads. One sample of this is: - device lapic (to have a preemption point on critical_exit()) - options DEVICE_POLLING with HZ>1499 (to have lapic freq = hardclock freq) - running a cpu intensive task (that does not enter the kernel) - only one CPU on SMP or no SMP. As requested by jhb@ 4BSD have received the same type of fix instead of propagating the flag to the new thread.
