The schedule() function is a loop that reschedules the current task while the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is set:
void schedule(void) { need_resched: /* schedule code */ if (need_resched()) goto need_resched; } And cond_resched() repeat this loop:
do { add_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE); schedule(); sub_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE); } while(need_resched()); This loop is needless because schedule() already did the check and nothing can set TIF_NEED_RESCHED between schedule() exit and the loop check in need_resched().
Then remove this needless loop.
