Some kfuncs provided by sched_ext may need to operate on a struct rq, but they can be invoked from various contexts, specifically, different scx callbacks. While some of these callbacks are invoked with a particular rq already locked, others are not. This makes it impossible for a kfunc to reliably determine whether it's safe to access a given rq, triggering potential bugs or unsafe behaviors, see for example [1]. To address this, track the currently locked rq whenever a sched_ext callback is invoked via SCX_CALL_OP*(). This allows kfuncs that need to operate on an arbitrary rq to retrieve the currently locked one and apply the appropriate action as needed.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
