From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Subject: sched: Move kprobes cleanup out of finish_task_switch() Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2021 14:24:28 +0200 Doing cleanups in the tail of schedule() is a latency punishment for the incoming task. The point of invoking kprobes_task_flush() for a dead task is that the instances are returned and cannot leak when __schedule() is kprobed. Move it into the delayed cleanup.
