A yield-triggered crash can happen when a newly forked sched_entity
enters the fair class with se->rel_deadline unexpectedly set.
The failing sequence is:
1. A task is forked while se->rel_deadline is still set.
2. __sched_fork() initializes vruntime, vlag and other sched_entity
state, but does not clear rel_deadline.
3. On the first enqueue, enqueue_entity() calls place_entity().
4. Because se->rel_deadline is set, place_entity() treats se->deadline
as a relative deadline and converts it to an absolute deadline by
adding the current vruntime.
5. However, the forked entity's deadline is not a valid inherited
relative deadline for this new scheduling instance, so the conversion
produces an abnormally large deadline.
6. If the task later calls sched_yield(), yield_task_fair() advances
se->vruntime to se->deadline.
7. The inflated vruntime is then used by the following enqueue path,
where the vruntime-derived key can overflow when multiplied by the
entity weight.
8. This corrupts cfs_rq->sum_w_vruntime, breaks EEVDF eligibility
calculation, and can eventually make all entities appear ineligible.
pick_next_entity() may then return NULL unexpectedly, leading to a
later NULL dereference.
A captured trace shows the effect clearly. Before yield, the entity's
vruntime was around:
9834017729983308
After yield_task_fair() executed:
se->vruntime = se->deadline
the vruntime jumped to:
19668035460670230
and the deadline was later advanced further to:
19668035463470230
This shows that the deadline had already become abnormally large before
yield_task_fair() copied it into vruntime.
rel_deadline is only meaningful when se->deadline really carries a
relative deadline that still needs to be placed against vruntime. A
freshly forked sched_entity should not inherit or retain this state.
Clear se->rel_deadline in __sched_fork(), together with the other
sched_entity runtime state, so that the first enqueue does not interpret
the new entity's deadline as a stale relative deadline.
