Subject: [GIT PULL] scheduler fixes

Linus,

Please pull the latest sched/urgent Git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-2026-02-07

for you to fetch changes up to 4463c7aa11a6e67169ae48c6804968960c4bffea:

Miscellaneous MMCID fixes to address bugs and
performance regressions in the recent rewrite
of the SCHED_MM_CID management code:

 - Fix livelock triggered by BPF CI testing

 - Fix hard lockup on weakly ordered systems

 - Simplify the dropping of CIDs in the exit path
   by removing an unintended transition phase.

 - Fix performance/scalability regression on a
   thread-pool benchmark by optimizing transitional
   CIDs when scheduling out.

[ MERGE NOTE: these changes are bigger than what would be ideal
              for a late -rc8 merge, but I don't think
              a good case can be made to delay these fixes.
              Feel free to overrule. ]
 Thanks,

	Ingo
