Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Use READ_ONCE() for scx_slice_bypass_us in scx_bypass()
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 04:50:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306045055.6493-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
Commit 0927780c90ce ("sched_ext: Use READ_ONCE() for lock-free reads
of module param variables") annotated the plain reads of
scx_slice_bypass_us and scx_bypass_lb_intv_us in bypass_lb_cpu(), but
missed a third site in scx_bypass():
WRITE_ONCE(scx_slice_dfl, scx_slice_bypass_us * NSEC_PER_USEC);
scx_slice_bypass_us is a module parameter writable via sysfs in
process context through set_slice_us() -> param_set_uint_minmax(),
which performs a plain store without holding bypass_lock. scx_bypass()
reads the variable under bypass_lock, but since the writer does not
take that lock, the two accesses are concurrent.
WRITE_ONCE() only applies volatile semantics to the store of
scx_slice_dfl -- the val expression containing scx_slice_bypass_us is
evaluated as a plain read, providing no protection against concurrent
writes.
Wrap the read with READ_ONCE() to complete the annotation started by
commit 0927780c90ce and make the access KCSAN-clean, consistent with
the existing READ_ONCE(scx_slice_bypass_us) in bypass_lb_cpu().
