Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched_ext: Fix incorrect autogroup migration detection scx_move_task() is called from sched_move_task() and tells the BPF scheduler
that cgroup migration is being committed. sched_move_task() is used by both
cgroup and autogroup migrations and scx_move_task() tried to filter out
autogroup migrations by testing the destination cgroup and PF_EXITING but
this is not enough. In fact, without explicitly tagging the thread which is
doing the cgroup migration, there is no good way to tell apart
scx_move_task() invocations for racing migration to the root cgroup and an
autogroup migration. This led to scx_move_task() incorrectly ignoring a migration from non-root
cgroup to an autogroup of the root cgroup triggering the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/ext.c:3725 scx_cgroup_can_attach+0x196/0x340 ... Call Trace: <TASK> cgroup_migrate_execute+0x5b1/0x700 cgroup_attach_task+0x296/0x400 __cgroup_procs_write+0x128/0x140 cgroup_procs_write+0x17/0x30 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x141/0x1f0 vfs_write+0x31d/0x4a0 __x64_sys_write+0x72/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x82/0x160 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Fix it by adding an argument to sched_move_task() that indicates whether the
moving is for a cgroup or autogroup migration. After the change,
scx_move_task() is called only for cgroup migrations and renamed to
scx_cgroup_move_task().
