CVE-2026-99205

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/core: Call wakeuppreempt() for queued tasks during class change Paul reported recent RCU changes exposed a lost resched where CPU idles with a rcutorture thread waiting while being completely runnable. Dumping the rq state at the time of idling with runnable tasks showed the following: rq->nextclass = &fairschedclass rq->nrrunning = 1 rq->cfs.hnrqueued = 0 rq->rt.rtnrrunning = 1 Although the waiting task was an RT task, "rq->nextclass" did not point to rtschedclass and was stuck at the lower priority fairschedclass. Inspecting schedchangeend() revealed the following race with schedsetscheduler() for queued, but non-running tasks: CPU0 CPU1 ==== ==== schedule() / rq->donor is a fair task that blocks. rq->nextclass = &fairschedclass / rqlock(rq0) picknexttask() / nrrunning = 0 / picktaskfair() schedbalancenewidle() rawspinrqunlock(rq0) rqlock(rq0) activatetask(rq0, p) / p is a fair task / rq0->nrrunning++; rq0->cfs.hnrqueued++; wakeuppreempt(rq, p) rq->nextclass = &fairschedclass reschedcurr() rqunlock(rq0) schedsetscheduler(p) / p is moved to SCHEDRR / taskrqlock(p) schedchangebegin() rq0->cfs.hnrqueued--;…
