Linus,
Please pull the latest sched/urgent Git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-2026-02-07
for you to fetch changes up to 4463c7aa11a6e67169ae48c6804968960c4bffea:
Miscellaneous MMCID fixes to address bugs and
performance regressions in the recent rewrite
of the SCHED_MM_CID management code:
- Fix livelock triggered by BPF CI testing
- Fix hard lockup on weakly ordered systems
- Simplify the dropping of CIDs in the exit path
by removing an unintended transition phase.
- Fix performance/scalability regression on a
thread-pool benchmark by optimizing transitional
CIDs when scheduling out.
[ MERGE NOTE: these changes are bigger than what would be ideal
for a late -rc8 merge, but I don't think
a good case can be made to delay these fixes.
Feel free to overrule. ]
Thanks,
Ingo
