SubjectRe: scheduler ignores need_resched flag in 2.2.x and 2.3.x?
The scenario you describe _is_ fixed by Ingo's patch, see below:

-----------------
in linux/kernel/sched.c - reschedule_idle_slow
int this_cpu = smp_processor_id();
struct task_struct *tsk;

- tsk = current;
+ tsk = cpu_curr(this_cpu);
if (preemption_goodness(tsk, p, this_cpu) > 0)
tsk->need_resched = 1;
-----------------

This eliminates the race and is a bug which should be fixed in 2.2.x.

The latest lowlatency patch can be found at:
