scx_root_enable_workfn() drops the iter rq lock for ops.init_task() and a TASK_DEAD @p can fall through sched_ext_dead() in that window. The race hits when sched_ext_dead() observes SCX_TASK_INIT (the intermediate state before @p->scx.sched is published) and dereferences NULL via SCX_HAS_OP(NULL, exit_task), or observes SCX_TASK_NONE during the unlocked init window and skips cleanup so exit_task() never runs. Add SCX_TASK_INIT_BEGIN. The enable path writes NONE -> INIT_BEGIN under the iter rq lock, then takes the rq lock again after init to walk INIT_BEGIN -> INIT -> READY. sched_ext_dead() that wins the rq-lock race observes INIT_BEGIN and sets DEAD without calling into ops; the post-init recheck unwinds via scx_sub_init_cancel_task(). scx_fork() runs single-threaded against sched_ext_dead() (the task is not on scx_tasks until scx_post_fork() adds it) so its INIT_BEGIN -> INIT walk needs no rq-lock pairing; it rolls back to NONE on ops.init_task() failure. The validation matrix grows the INIT_BEGIN row and the INIT_BEGIN -> DEAD edge; INIT now requires INIT_BEGIN as the predecessor. scx_sub_disable()'s migration writes INIT_BEGIN as a synthetic predecessor to satisfy the tightened verification. The sub-sched paths still race with sched_ext_dead() during the unlocked init window. This will be fixed by the next patch.
