[ Upstream commit 477869bfafea65492d23de62c1b5208147c09dd2 ]

The p-&gt;scx.disallow revert assumes the root enable path, where the switching
loop reads the reverted policy right afterwards and leaves the task off SCX.
The sub-scheduler disable path also reaches it when re-initializing the
returned tasks on a root parent. Nothing reads the policy there: the task is
enabled on root anyway and keeps running on the ext class with a silently
rewritten policy.

Kill the sched instead, matching the fork and non-root branches, and update
the disallow documentation, which equated !fork with the load path and
pointed at a stale debugfs path for nr_rejected.

cpuset_can_attach() currently adds the bandwidth of all migrating
SCHED_DEADLINE tasks to sum_migrate_dl_bw. If the source and destination
cpuset effective CPU masks do not overlap, the whole sum is then
reserved in the destination root domain.

set_cpus_allowed_dl(), however, subtracts bandwidth from the source
root domain only when the affinity change really moves the task between
root domains. A DL task can move between cpusets that are still in the
same root domain, so including that task in sum_migrate_dl_bw can reserve
destination bandwidth without a matching source-side subtraction.

Share the root-domain move test with set_cpus_allowed_dl(). Keep
nr_migrate_dl_tasks counting all migrating deadline tasks for cpuset DL
task accounting, but add to sum_migrate_dl_bw only for tasks that need a
root-domain bandwidth move. Keep using the destination cpuset effective
CPU mask and leave the broader can_attach()/attach() transaction model
unchanged.

<title>sched_ext: Close root-enable vs sched_ext_dead() race with SCX_TASK_INIT_BEGIN</title>

scx_root_enable_workfn() drops the iter rq lock for ops.init_task() and a
TASK_DEAD @p can fall through sched_ext_dead() in that window. The race hits
when sched_ext_dead() observes SCX_TASK_INIT (the intermediate state before
@p-&gt;scx.sched is published) and dereferences NULL via SCX_HAS_OP(NULL,
exit_task), or observes SCX_TASK_NONE during the unlocked init window and
skips cleanup so exit_task() never runs.

Add SCX_TASK_INIT_BEGIN. The enable path writes NONE -&gt; INIT_BEGIN under the
iter rq lock, then takes the rq lock again after init to walk INIT_BEGIN -&gt;
INIT -&gt; READY. sched_ext_dead() that wins the rq-lock race observes
INIT_BEGIN and sets DEAD without calling into ops; the post-init recheck
unwinds via scx_sub_init_cancel_task().

scx_fork() runs single-threaded against sched_ext_dead() (the task is not on
scx_tasks until scx_post_fork() adds it) so its INIT_BEGIN -&gt; INIT walk
needs no rq-lock pairing; it rolls back to NONE on ops.init_task() failure.

The validation matrix grows the INIT_BEGIN row and the INIT_BEGIN -&gt; DEAD
edge; INIT now requires INIT_BEGIN as the predecessor. scx_sub_disable()'s
migration writes INIT_BEGIN as a synthetic predecessor to satisfy the
tightened verification.

The sub-sched paths still race with sched_ext_dead() during the unlocked
init window. This will be fixed by the next patch.

<title>sched_ext: Replace SCX_TASK_OFF_TASKS flag with SCX_TASK_DEAD state</title>

SCX_TASK_OFF_TASKS marked tasks already through sched_ext_dead() so cgroup
task iteration would skip them. This can be expressed better with a task
state. Replace the flag with SCX_TASK_DEAD.

scx_disable_and_exit_task() resets state to NONE on its way out, so
sched_ext_dead() now sets DEAD after the wrapper returns. The validation
matrix grows NONE -&gt; DEAD, warns on DEAD -&gt; NONE, and tightens READY's
predecessor to INIT or ENABLED so the new DEAD value cannot silently
transition to READY.

Prepares for the following enable vs dead race fix.

Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Including fixes from Netfilter, IPsec, Bluetooth and WiFi.

  Current release - fix to a fix:

   - ipmr: add __rcu to netns_ipv4.mrt, make sure we hold the RCU lock
     in all relevant places

  Current release - new code bugs:

   - fixes for the recently added resizable hash tables

   - ipv6: make sure we default IPv6 tunnel drivers to =m now that IPv6
     itself is built in

   - drv: octeontx2-af: fixes for parser/CAM fixes

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - phy: micrel: fix LAN8814 QSGMII soft reset

   - wifi:
       - cw1200: revert "Fix locking in error paths"
       - ath12k: fix crash on WCN7850, due to adding the same queue
         buffer to a list multiple times

  Previous releases - always broken:

   - number of info leak fixes

   - ipv6: implement limits on extension header parsing

   - wifi: number of fixes for missing bound checks in the drivers

   - Bluetooth: fixes for races and locking issues

   - af_unix:
       - fix an issue between garbage collection and PEEK
       - fix yet another issue with OOB data

   - xfrm: esp: avoid in-place decrypt on shared skb frags

   - netfilter: replace skb_try_make_writable() by skb_ensure_writable()

   - openvswitch: vport: fix race between tunnel creation and linking
     leading to invalid memory accesses (type confusion)

   - drv: amd-xgbe: fix PTP addend overflow causing frozen clock

  Misc:

   - sched/isolation: make HK_TYPE_KTHREAD an alias of HK_TYPE_DOMAIN
     (for relevant IPVS change)"

<title>sched/isolation: Make HK_TYPE_KTHREAD an alias of HK_TYPE_DOMAIN</title>

<id>8f78b749f3da0f43990490b4c1193b5ede3eec0a</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 041ee6f3727a ("kthread: Rely on HK_TYPE_DOMAIN for preferred
affinity management"), kthreads default to use the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN
cpumask. IOW, it is no longer affected by the setting of the nohz_full
boot kernel parameter.

That means HK_TYPE_KTHREAD should now be an alias of HK_TYPE_DOMAIN
instead of HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE to correctly reflect the current kthread
behavior. Make the change as HK_TYPE_KTHREAD is still being used in
some networking code.

<title>sched_ext: Skip past-sched_ext_dead() tasks in scx_task_iter_next_locked()</title>

scx_task_iter's cgroup-scoped mode can return tasks whose
sched_ext_dead() has already completed: cgroup_task_dead() removes
from cset-&gt;tasks after sched_ext_dead() in finish_task_switch() and is
irq-work deferred on PREEMPT_RT. The global mode is fine -
sched_ext_dead() removes from scx_tasks via list_del_init() first.

Callers (sub-sched enable prep/abort/apply, scx_sub_disable(),
scx_fail_parent()) assume returned tasks are still on @sch and trip
WARN_ON_ONCE() or operate on torn-down state otherwise.

Set %SCX_TASK_OFF_TASKS in sched_ext_dead() under @p's rq lock and
have scx_task_iter_next_locked() skip flagged tasks under the same
lock. Setter and reader serialize on the per-task rq lock - no race.

Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types

   No functional changes, only less code duplication.

 - Add Hybrid Automata model class

   Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding
   constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take
   into account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make
   assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation
   scripts.

 - Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example

   Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an
   example of automaton working with real time variables.

 - Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton

   The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid
   automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable
   events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt
   states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify.

 - Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA

   Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic
   objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects
   are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For
   instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline
   monitors.

 - Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities

   Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and
   exporting helpers.

 - Add nomiss deadline monitor

   Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete
   before their deadline.

 - Improve rvgen error handling

   Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected
   exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones.

 - Improve python code quality in rvgen

   Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best
   practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of
   __len__(), remove semicolons, use context managers for file
   operations, fix whitespace violations, extract magic strings into
   constants, remove unused imports and methods.

 - Fix small bugs in rvgen

   The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error
   in validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance()
   check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations
   and typos in comments.

 - rvgen refactoring

   Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle
   required arguments directly in argparse.

 - Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor

   The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the
   sleep monitor as a valid sleep method.
