Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Mark noticed that syzkaller is able to reliably trigger the following warning: dl_rq->running_bw > dl_rq->this_bw WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 153 at kernel/sched/deadline.c:124 switched_from_dl+0x454/0x608 Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ... CPU: 1 PID: 153 Comm: syz-executor253 Not tainted 4.18.0-rc3+ #29 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x458 show_stack+0x20/0x30 dump_stack+0x180/0x250 panic+0x2dc/0x4ec __warn_printk+0x0/0x150 report_bug+0x228/0x2d8 bug_handler+0xa0/0x1a0 brk_handler+0x2f0/0x568 do_debug_exception+0x1bc/0x5d0 el1_dbg+0x18/0x78 switched_from_dl+0x454/0x608 __sched_setscheduler+0x8cc/0x2018 sys_sched_setattr+0x340/0x758 el0_svc_naked+0x30/0x34 syzkaller reproducer runs a bunch of threads that constantly switch between DEADLINE and NORMAL classes while interacting through futexes. The splat above is caused by the fact that if a DEADLINE task is setattr back to NORMAL while in non_contending state (blocked on a futex - inactive timer armed), its contribution to running_bw is not removed before sub_rq_bw() gets called (!task_on_rq_queued() branch) and the latter sees running_bw > this_bw. Fix it by removing a task contribution from running_bw if the task is not queued and in non_contending state while switched to a different class.
