Subject: [PATCH v2 sched_ext/for-7.1-fixes] sched_ext: Drop %NONE early return in scx_disable_and_exit_task()
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 11:11:02 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512211102.883417-1-tj@kernel.org> (raw)

d3e73a0808dd ("sched_ext: Handle SCX_TASK_NONE in disable/switched_from
paths") skipped the trailing scx_set_task_sched(p, NULL) on %NONE tasks.
After scx_fail_parent() parks a task at %NONE/sched=parent and the
parent is later freed via queue_rcu_work() during root_disable, the
preserved p->scx.sched dangles - print_scx_info() from sched_show_task()
reads sch->ops.name from freed memory.

Drop the early return. __scx_disable_and_exit_task() already short-
circuits on %NONE and the SUB_INIT block was cleared by
scx_fail_parent()'s earlier call, so clearing p->scx.sched is the only
work left - and the one thing the path actually needs.

v2: Extend the SUB_INIT block comment to note that the flag is only
    set on the sub-enable path, so it's always clear on the %NONE
    re-entry (Andrea).
