Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Proxy Execution fixes for v7.1-rc
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 21:50:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430215103.2978955-1-jstultz@google.com> (raw)

Hey All,
  So in testing with the full Proxy Execution series,
Vineeth Pillai managed to trip some interesting bugs which
initially looked to be KVM or RCU related[1], which he later
diagnosed as Proxy Execution related and created a useful test
driver to reproduce.

I found these same issues could be triggered with the upstream
portions of Proxy Execution, so I wanted to send along these
fixes for 7.1-rc

Again, a huge thanks to Vineeth for uncovering these issues
that have evaded all my stress testing so far!

New in this version:
* Peter didn't like the change modifying task __state in
  schedule() and so I've reworked this to use an extra bit flag
  in the low bit of the blocked_on pointer. This does make the
  change a little larger then I'd like for a fix, but I think
  minimizing it further would create a bit of a mess.

Anyway, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
-john
