[PATCH] sched: fix rq lock recursion issue

From: Satya Durga Srinivasu Prabhala
Date: Fri Jun 24 2022 - 03:43:03 EST


Below recursion is observed in a rare scenario where __schedule()
takes rq lock, at around same time task's affinity is being changed,
bpf function for tracing sched_switch calls migrate_enabled(),
checks for affinity change (cpus_ptr != cpus_mask) lands into
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr which tries acquire rq lock and causing the
recursion bug.

Fix the issue by switching to preempt_enable/disable() for non-RT
Kernels.
