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

sched_ext: Fix stall when a task enqueued with SCX_ENQ_LAST lands back on its CPU's local DSQ

With SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST, the last runnable task on a CPU is passed to
ops.enqueue() instead of being kept running. Exiting tasks without
SCX_OPS_ENQ_EXITING, migration disabled tasks without
SCX_OPS_ENQ_MIGRATION_DISABLED and tasks on an offline rq skip ops.enqueue()
and go straight to the local DSQ. This happens in put_prev_task_scx() after
the pick has settled on idle, so nothing reschedules the CPU, which idles
with the task queued until an unrelated wakeup lands on it or the watchdog
fires.

scx_mitosis, which sets SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST without SCX_OPS_ENQ_EXITING, hit
this during mass cgroup teardown: exiting tasks stuck in exit_mmap() for
over 40 seconds.

A task put on the local DSQ runs, as anywhere else. If the SCX_ENQ_LAST
enqueue left the task on this CPU's local DSQ, set need_resched on the task
being switched in, as proxy_resched_idle() does. resched_curr() would flag
the task being put instead, and __schedule() clears that right after the
pick.
