scx_ops_enable() used preempt_disable() around the task iteration loop to switch tasks into SCX to guarantee forward progress of the task which is running scx_ops_enable(). However, in the gap between setting __scx_ops_enabled and preeempt_disable(), an external entity can put tasks including the enabling one into SCX prematurely, which can lead to malfunctions including stalls. The bypass mode can wrap the entire enabling operation and guarantee forward progress no matter what the BPF scheduler does. Use the bypass mode instead to guarantee forward progress while enabling. While at it, release and regrab scx_tasks_lock between the two task iteration locks in scx_ops_enable() for clarity as there is no reason to keep holding the lock between them.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
