Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sched_ext: Fix cgroup double-put on sub-sched abort path
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 19:43:27 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316054328.838304-2-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316054328.838304-1-tj@kernel.org>
The abort path in scx_sub_enable_workfn() fell through to out_put_cgrp,
double-putting the cgroup ref already owned by sch->cgrp. It also skipped
kthread_flush_work() needed to flush the disable path.
Relocate the abort block above err_unlock_and_disable so it falls through to
err_disable.
Fixes: ebeca1f930ea ("sched_ext: Introduce cgroup sub-sched support")
