- Prevent PSI state corruption when schedule() races with cgroup move. A
recent commit combined two PSI callbacks to reduce the number of cgroup
tree updates, but missed that schedule() can drop rq::lock for load
balancing, which opens the race window for cgroup_move_task() which then
observes half updated state. The fix is to solely use task::ps_flags
instead of looking at the potentially mismatching scheduler state
- Prevent an out-of-bounds access in uclamp caused bu a rounding division
which can lead to an off-by-one error exceeding the buckets array size.
- Prevent unfairness caused by missing load decay when a task is attached
to a cfs runqueue. The old load of the task is attached to the runqueue
and never removed. Fix it by enforcing the load update through the
hierarchy for unthrottled run queue instances.
- A documentation fix fot the 'sched_verbose' command line option
