Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner: - Plug a race between pick_next_task_fair() and try_to_wake_up() where both try to write to the same task, even though both paths hold a runqueue lock, but obviously from different runqueues. The problem is that the store to task::on_rq in __block_task() is visible to try_to_wake_up() which assumes that the task is not queued. Both sides then operate on the same task. Cure it by rearranging __block_task() so the the store to task::on_rq is the last operation on the task. - Prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference in task_numa_work() task_numa_work() iterates the VMAs of a process. A concurrent unmap of the address space can result in a NULL pointer return from vma_next() which is unchecked. Add the missing NULL pointer check to prevent this. - Operate on the correct scheduler policy in task_should_scx() task_should_scx() returns true when a task should be handled by sched EXT. It checks the tasks scheduling policy. This fails when the check is done before a policy has been set. Cure it by handing the policy into task_should_scx() so it operates on the requested value. - Add the missing handling of sched EXT in the delayed dequeue mechanism. This was simply forgotten. * tag 'sched-urgent-2024-11-03' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: sched/ext: Fix scx vs sched_delayed sched: Pass correct scheduling policy to __setscheduler_class sched/numa: Fix the potential null pointer dereference in task_numa_work() sched: Fix pick_next_task_fair() vs try_to_wake_up() race
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
