[PATCH sched_ext/for-7.1-fixes] sched_ext: Drop %NONE early return in scx_disable_and_exit_task()
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue May 12 2026 - 14:54:53 EST
d3e73a0808dd ("sched_ext: Handle SCX_TASK_NONE in disable/switched_from
paths") skipped the trailing scx_set_task_sched(p, NULL) on %NONE tasks.
After scx_fail_parent() parks a task at %NONE/sched=parent and the
parent is later freed via queue_rcu_work() during root_disable, the
preserved p->scx.sched dangles - print_scx_info() from sched_show_task()
reads sch->ops.name from freed memory.
Drop the early return. __scx_disable_and_exit_task() already short-
circuits on %NONE and the SUB_INIT block was cleared by
scx_fail_parent()'s earlier call, so clearing p->scx.sched is the only
work left - and the one thing the path actually needs.
