Subject: [PATCH 14/13] sched_ext: Reject NULL-sch callers in scx_bpf_task_set_slice/dsq_vtime
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 11:08:01 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424210802.3842919-1-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424204418.3809733-1-tj@kernel.org>

scx_prog_sched(aux) returns NULL for TRACING / SYSCALL BPF progs that
have no struct_ops association when the root scheduler has sub_attach
set. scx_bpf_task_set_slice() and scx_bpf_task_set_dsq_vtime() pass
that NULL into scx_task_on_sched(sch, p), which under
CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED is rcu_access_pointer(p->scx.sched) == sch. For
any non-scx task p->scx.sched is NULL, so NULL == NULL returns true
and the authority gate is bypassed - a privileged but
non-struct_ops-associated prog can poke p->scx.slice /
p->scx.dsq_vtime on arbitrary tasks.

Reject !sch up front so the gate only admits callers with a resolved
scheduler.

Fixes: 245d09c594ea ("sched_ext: Enforce scheduler ownership when updating slice and dsq_vtime")
