From da2d81b4118a74e65d2335e221a38d665902a98c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:31:35 -1000 Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Skip tasks with stale task_rq in bypass_lb_cpu() bypass_lb_cpu() transfers tasks between per-CPU bypass DSQs without migrating them - task_cpu() only updates when the donee later consumes the task via move_remote_task_to_local_dsq(). If the LB timer fires again before consumption and the new DSQ becomes a donor, @p is still on the previous CPU and task_rq(@p) != donor_rq. @p can't be moved without its own rq locked. Skip such tasks.
