Subject: sched_ext: Make bypass LB cpumasks per-scheduler
X-Git-Tag: v7.1-rc2~27^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d292aa00de1aea72961f94c0db43f6b5c72684c9;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

sched_ext: Make bypass LB cpumasks per-scheduler

scx_bypass_lb_{donee,resched}_cpumask were file-scope statics shared by all
scheduler instances. With CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED, multiple sched instances
each arm their own bypass_lb_timer; concurrent bypass_lb_node() calls RMW
the global cpumasks with no lock, corrupting donee/resched decisions.

Move the cpumasks into struct scx_sched, allocate them alongside the timer
in scx_alloc_and_add_sched(), free them in scx_sched_free_rcu_work().

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