Subject: [PATCH 7.0.y] sched_ext: Skip tasks with stale task_rq in bypass_lb_cpu()
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 15:01:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513130111.689740-1-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)

From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

commit da2d81b4118a74e65d2335e221a38d665902a98c upstream.

bypass_lb_cpu() transfers tasks between per-CPU bypass DSQs without
migrating them - task_cpu() only updates when the donee later consumes the
task via move_remote_task_to_local_dsq(). If the LB timer fires again before
consumption and the new DSQ becomes a donor, @p is still on the previous CPU
and task_rq(@p) != donor_rq. @p can't be moved without its own rq locked.

Skip such tasks.

Fixes: 95d1df610cdc ("sched_ext: Implement load balancer for bypass mode")
