This patchset contains three sub-scheduler fixes and a cgroup lock ordering deadlock fix. 0001-sched_ext-Reject-setting-disallow-from-init_task-out.patch 0002-sched_ext-Take-cgroup_lock-first-in-scx_cgroup_lock.patch 0003-sched_ext-Skip-sub-disable-teardown-for-never-linked.patch 0004-sched_ext-Don-t-enable-non-ext-tasks-in-the-sub-sche.patch - 0001 makes ops.init_task() setting p->scx.disallow outside the enable path fail the scheduler. The sub-scheduler disable path could reach the load-path-only policy revert and silently rewrite a live task's policy. - 0002 fixes a three-way deadlock among scx_cgroup_lock(), cgroup teardown draining the cpu controller's files, and a concurrent cpu.weight write. Present in released kernels since v6.18 and marked for stable. - 0003 fixes a use-after-free when a sub-scheduler whose enable failed before linking is torn down concurrently with root disable. - 0004 gates task enabling on the ext class in the sub-scheduler task loops. A non-ext task under an SCX_OPS_SWITCH_PARTIAL root could be marked ENABLED while staying on its own class, corrupting the task state machine. This is against sched_ext/for-7.2-fixes (0e2f4ab68a89) and also available in the following git branch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext.git scx-sub-cgroup-fixes diffstat follows. include/linux/sched/ext.h | 10 +++++----- kernel/sched/ext/ext.c | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) -- tejun
