From deb7b2f93d0129b79425f830a1e5e7e1bb2c4973 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:31:36 -1000 Subject: sched_ext: Release cpus_read_lock on scx_link_sched() failure in root enable scx_root_enable_workfn() takes cpus_read_lock() before scx_link_sched(sch), but the `if (ret) goto err_disable` on failure skips the matching cpus_read_unlock() - all other err_disable gotos along this path drop the lock first. scx_link_sched() only returns non-zero on the sub-sched path (parent != NULL), so the leak path is unreachable via the root caller today. Still, the unwind is out of line with the surrounding paths. Drop cpus_read_lock() before goto err_disable. v2: Correct Fixes: tag (Andrea Righi).
