We want to modify the kernel based on the sched-ext framework to implement certain features. However, kernel development is not only challenging from a technical perspective but also time-consuming when it comes to compiling the entire kernel. Moreover, this time consumption can reach a staggering 70 minutes without any kernel module trimming. I would like to inquire if there are existing proven methods to quickly make kernel changes and reduce the compilation time.

Hi, 70 minutes is a long time. make localmodconfig will automatically detect what devices you have on your host and will compile the minimum modules required to build a kernel you can run. In general, I recommend building either a smaller .config, or buying a host with more cores / RAM.

scsi: target: core: Fix deadlock due to recursive locking
a154f5f 
The following call trace shows a deadlock issue due to recursive locking of
mutex "device_mutex". First lock acquire is in target_for_each_device() and
second in target_free_device().

RDMA/irdma: Avoid free the non-cqp_request scratch
e3e82fc 
When creating ceq_0 during probing irdma, cqp.sc_cqp will be sent as a
cqp_request to cqp->sc_cqp.sq_ring. If the request is pending when
removing the irdma driver or unplugging its aux device, cqp.sc_cqp will be
dereferenced as wrong struct in irdma_free_pending_cqp_request().

mac802154: fix llsec key resources release in mac802154_llsec_key_del
518b7aa 
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060531

[ Upstream commit e8a1e58 ]

mac802154_llsec_key_del() can free resources of a key directly without
following the RCU rules for waiting before the end of a grace period. This
may lead to use-after-free in case llsec_lookup_key() is traversing the
list of keys in parallel with a key deletion:

Handle the proper resource release in the RCU callback function
mac802154_llsec_key_del_rcu().

Note that if llsec_lookup_key() finds a key, it gets a refcount via
llsec_key_get() and locally copies key id from key_entry (which is a
list element). So it's safe to call llsec_key_put() and free the list
entry after the RCU grace period elapses.

netfilter: br_netfilter: skip conntrack input hook for promisc packets
b356fff 
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2068087

[ Upstream commit 751de20 ]

For historical reasons, when bridge device is in promisc mode, packets
that are directed to the taps follow bridge input hook path. This patch
adds a workaround to reset conntrack for these packets.

Jianbo Liu reports warning splats in their test infrastructure where
cloned packets reach the br_netfilter input hook to confirm the
conntrack object.

Scratch one bit from BR_INPUT_SKB_CB to annotate that this packet has
reached the input hook because it is passed up to the bridge device to
reach the taps.

tun: limit printing rate when illegal packet received by tun dev
fb38b36 
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2068087

[ Upstream commit f8bbc07 ]

vhost_worker will call tun call backs to receive packets. If too many
illegal packets arrives, tun_do_read will keep dumping packet contents.
When console is enabled, it will costs much more cpu time to dump
packet and soft lockup will be detected.

net_ratelimit mechanism can be used to limit the dumping rate.
