SCX_HAS_OP() tests scx_root->has_op bitmap. The bitmap is currently in a statically allocated struct scx_sched and initialized while loading the BPF scheduler and cleared while unloading, and thus can be tested anytime. However, scx_root will be switched to dynamic allocation and thus won't always be deferenceable. Most usages of SCX_HAS_OP() are already protected by scx_enabled() either directly or indirectly (e.g. through a task which is on SCX). However, there are a couple places that could try to dereference NULL scx_root. Update them so that scx_root is guaranteed to be valid before SCX_HAS_OP() is called. - In handle_hotplug(), test whether scx_root is NULL before doing anything else. This is safe because scx_root updates will be protected by cpus_read_lock(). - In scx_tg_offline(), test scx_cgroup_enabled before invoking SCX_HAS_OP(), which should guarnatee that scx_root won't turn NULL. This is also in line with other cgroup operations. As the code path is synchronized against scx_cgroup_init/exit() through scx_cgroup_rwsem, this shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

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.
