[PATCH 04/12] sched_ext: Reject internal enq_flags in the dsq move kfuncs
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Sat Aug 01 2026 - 04:53:23 EST
The dsq insert kfuncs reject __SCX_ENQ_INTERNAL_MASK bits in
scx_dsq_insert_preamble() instead of scx_vet_enq_flags(). A scheduler can
smuggle internal flags such as SCX_ENQ_CLEAR_OPSS through the dsq move
kfuncs and corrupt the dispatch protocol. Move the rejection into
scx_vet_enq_flags(). The vtime move wrapper OR'd the internal
SCX_ENQ_DSQ_PRIQ bit into enq_flags before the vet; the bit now goes in
inside scx_dsq_move() after the vet.
