to the 6.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...

The filename of the patch is: sched_ext-fix-missing-rq-lock-in-scx_bpf_cpuperf_set.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.12 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.

This requires upstream commit 18853ba782bef ("sched_ext: Track currently locked rq").

Thanks, -Andrea

sched_ext: Fix missing rq lock in scx_bpf_cpuperf_set()

[ Upstream commit a11d6784d7316a6c77ca9f14fb1a698ebbb3c1fb ] scx_bpf_cpuperf_set() can be used to set a performance target level on any CPU. However, it doesn't correctly acquire the corresponding rq lock, which may lead to unsafe behavior and trigger the following warning, due to the lockdep_assert_rq_held() check: [ 51.713737] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3899 at kernel/sched/sched.h:1512 scx_bpf_cpuperf_set+0x1a0/0x1e0 ...
