The deferral is now\nunnecessary - claiming is NMI-safe and asserting -\u003eaborting is exactly what\nbreaks the live-locks that hard-lock CPUs. Call handle_lockup() directly and\ndrop the irq_work. This also makes the self-detected case recoverable: the\nperf watchdog fires on the hard-locked CPU itself, where a queued irq_work\nnever runs with IRQs off.\n\nAlso fix the return value: %true used to be returned whenever sched_ext was\nloaded, suppressing the kernel\u0027s hardlockup report even when the abort was\nrefused. Return %true only when this call initiated the abort."
