From c5ae366e12b2bd56fc7d7e9d484836bec9ddc110 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Axtens Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 06:11:39 +1000 Subject: sched/fair: WARN() and refuse to set buddy when !se->on_rq If we set a next or last buddy for a se that is not on_rq, we will end up taking a NULL pointer dereference in wakeup_preempt_entity via pick_next_task_fair. Detect when we would be about to do that, throw a warning and then refuse to actually set it. This has been suggested at least twice: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=146651668921468&w=2 https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/16/663 I recently had to debug a problem with these (we hadn't backported Konstantin's patches in this area) and this would have saved a lot of time/pain. Just do it.
