Subject: [PATCH] sched: Set need-resched flags before tracing
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 23:33:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911213300.1305763-1-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)
sched_set_need_resched_tp is emitted before the corresponding thread
flag is set. This allows a BPF tracepoint program to recursively invoke
the same tracepoint while leaving its RCU read-side critical section.
If rcu_read_unlock_special() must defer a quiescent state while
preemption or interrupts are disabled, it calls
set_need_resched_current(). Since TIF_NEED_RESCHED is still clear, this
emits the tracepoint again and repeats until the kernel stack overflows:
__trace_set_need_resched()
bpf_trace_run3()
rcu_read_unlock_migrate()
rcu_read_unlock_special()
set_need_resched_current()
set_tsk_need_resched()
__trace_set_need_resched()
Set the thread flag before emitting the tracepoint in both
set_tsk_need_resched() and __resched_curr(). For a remote reschedule,
retain the result of set_nr_and_not_polling() so that tracing remains
ahead of IPI delivery while still observing the updated flag.
Fixes: adcc3bfa8806 ("sched: Adapt sched tracepoints for RV task model")
