Subject: [PATCH 04/12] sched_ext: Reject internal enq_flags in the dsq move kfuncs
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 22:51:42 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260801085150.2697653-5-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260801085150.2697653-1-tj@kernel.org>

The dsq insert kfuncs reject __SCX_ENQ_INTERNAL_MASK bits in
scx_dsq_insert_preamble() instead of scx_vet_enq_flags(). A scheduler can
smuggle internal flags such as SCX_ENQ_CLEAR_OPSS through the dsq move
kfuncs and corrupt the dispatch protocol. Move the rejection into
scx_vet_enq_flags(). The vtime move wrapper OR'd the internal
SCX_ENQ_DSQ_PRIQ bit into enq_flags before the vet; the bit now goes in
inside scx_dsq_move() after the vet.
