[PATCH] sched: set TIF_NEED_RESCHED before calling __trace_set_need_resched()
From: Sechang Lim
Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 02:58:25 EST
set_tsk_need_resched() tests TIF_NEED_RESCHED, calls
__trace_set_need_resched() if the flag is clear, then sets it via
set_tsk_thread_flag(). A BPF raw_tp program attached to
sched_set_need_resched executes synchronously inside __bpf_trace_run().
On return, __bpf_trace_run() drops the RCU lock with
rcu_read_unlock_migrate(), which on the preempt-or-BH-disabled path
calls set_need_resched_current() -> set_tsk_need_resched() again.
set_tsk_thread_flag() follows the tracepoint call, so every re-entrant
frame sees TIF_NEED_RESCHED clear and calls __trace_set_need_resched()
again:

Replace the separate test_tsk_thread_flag() + set_tsk_thread_flag() pair
with test_and_set_tsk_thread_flag().
