This turned out to be due to entity_eligible() returning falsely negative because of a s64 multiplcation overflow.</p> <p>Specifically, reweight_eevdf() computes the vlag without considering the limit placed upon vlag as update_entity_lag() does, and then the scaling multiplication (remember that weight is 20bit fixed point) can overflow. This then leads to the new vruntime being weird which then causes the above entity_eligible() to go side-ways and claim nothing is eligible.</p> <p>Thus limit the range of vlag accordingly.</p> <p>All this was quite rare, but fatal when it does happen.</p> <p><strong>Affected:</strong> Linux</p> <p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:</p> <p>sched/eevdf: Prevent vlag from going out of bounds in reweight_eevdf()</p> <p>It was possible to have pick_eevdf() return NULL, which then causes a NULL-deref.
