What it is

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

sched/deadline: Fix warning in migrate_enable for boosted tasks

When running the following command:

while true; do

stress-ng --cyclic 30 --timeout 30s --minimize --quiet

done

a warning is eventually triggered:

WARNING: CPU: 43 PID: 2848 at kernel/sched/deadline.c:794

setup_new_dl_entity+0x13e/0x180

...

RIP: 0033:0x7f0dab31f92b

This warning occurs because set_cpus_allowed dequeues and enqueues tasks

with the ENQUEUE_RESTORE flag set. If the task is boosted, the warning

is triggered. A boosted task already had its parameters set by

rt_mutex_setprio, and a new call to setup_new_dl_entity is unnecessary,

hence the WARN_ON call.

Check if we are requeueing a boosted task and avoid calling

setup_new_dl_entity if that's the case.
