CVE-2026-31733

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sched_ext: Fix stale direct dispatch state in ddsp_dsq_id

@p->scx.ddsp_dsq_id can be left set (non-SCX_DSQ_INVALID) triggering a

spurious warning in mark_direct_dispatch() when the next wakeup's

ops.select_cpu() calls scx_bpf_dsq_insert(), such as:

WARNING: kernel/sched/ext.c:1273 at scx_dsq_insert_commit+0xcd/0x140

The root cause is that ddsp_dsq_id was only cleared in dispatch_enqueue(),

which is not reached in all paths that consume or cancel a direct dispatch

verdict.

Fix it by clearing it at the right places:

- direct_dispatch(): cache the direct dispatch state in local variables

and clear it before dispatch_enqueue() on the synchronous path. For

the deferred path, the direct dispatch state must remain set until

process_ddsp_deferred_locals() consumes them.

- process_ddsp_deferred_locals(): cache the dispatch state in local

variables and clear it before calling dispatch_to_local_dsq(), which

may migrate the task to another rq.

- do_enqueue_task(): clear the dispatch state on the enqueue path

(local/global/bypass fallbacks), where the direct dispatch verdict is

ignored.

- dequeue_task_scx(): clear the dispatch state after dispatch_dequeue()

to handle both the deferred dispatch cancellation and the holding_cpu

race, covering all cases where a pending direct dispatch is

cancelled.

- scx_disable_task(): clear the direct dispatch state when

transitioning a task out of the current scheduler. Waking tasks may

have had the direct dispatch state set by the outgoing scheduler's

ops.select_cpu() and then been queued on a wake_list via

ttwu_queue_wakelist(), when SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP is set. Such

tasks are not on the runqueue and are not iterated by scx_bypass(),

so their direct dispatch state won't be cleared. Without this clear,

any subsequent SCX scheduler that tries to direct dispatch the task

will trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in mark_direct_dispatch().
