Re: [PATCH 1/2] sched_ext: Prevent SCX_KICK_WAIT deadlock by serialization

Hello,
I posted an alternative fix here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260329001856.835643-1-tj@xxxxxxxxxx
Instead of serializing the kicks, it defers the wait to a balance callback
which can drop the rq lock and enable IRQs, avoiding the deadlock while
preserving the concurrent kick_wait semantics.
Thanks.
