[PATCH sched_ext/for-7.2-fixes] sched_ext: Annotate ksyncs with __rcu in alloc/free_kick_syncs()
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 18:37:45 EST
scx_kick_syncs is a per-CPU __rcu pointer, so per_cpu_ptr() returns struct
scx_kick_syncs __rcu **. alloc_kick_syncs() and free_kick_syncs() stored it
in a plain struct scx_kick_syncs **ksyncs, which sparse flags as an __rcu
address-space mismatch. Annotate ksyncs to match. Its accesses already go
through rcu_*_pointer().
Fixes: 987e00035c0e ("sched_ext: Rename pnt_seq to kick_sync")
