Subject: [PATCH] tools/sched_ext: scx_central: fix CPU_SET and skeleton leak on early exit
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 19:48:00 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260217194800.87403-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)

Use CPU_SET_S() instead of CPU_SET() on the dynamically allocated
cpuset to avoid a potential out-of-bounds write when nr_cpu_ids
exceeds CPU_SETSIZE.

Also destroy the skeleton before returning on invalid central CPU ID
to prevent a resource leak.
