Greg, Sasha,
 
Important upstream "sched/rt: Fix race in push_rt_task", commit
690e47d1403e90b7f2366f03b52ed3304194c793, is present in 6.18.y
and 6.12.y kernel branches, but seems to be missing from older
kernel branches.
 
Any chance backporting that race fix to older kernel branches?

I have not seen that race trigger on any kernel branch.
