2026-09-30fprobe: Use guard(rcu_sched_notrace) and check rcu_is_watching()Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
unregister_fprobe() and unregister_fprobe_async() (used by BPF kprobe-multi) rely on standard RCU grace periods (synchronize_rcu() and call_rcu()) to wait until in-flight fprobe handlers complete before freeing the fprobe. However, if an fprobe handler executes while RCU is not watching (such as in the idle loop or nohz_full extended quiescent states), standard RCU does not track preemption-disabled sections. Consequently, synchronize_rcu() does not wait for those executions, which can lead to a use-after-free if the fprobe is freed immediately after unregistration. Ensure handlers exit early when !rcu_is_watching(). Furthermore, fprobe_fgraph_entry() and fprobe_ftrace_entry() previously used guard(rcu)() and rcu_read_lock(), which invoke lockdep on every hit under CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING. This adds overhead and can cause lockdep recursion if probed functions interact with lockdep. Since rhltable_lookup() and rhl_for_each_entry_rcu() use rcu_dereference_all_check() (which checks rcu_read_lock_any_held()), holding preemption disabled via rcu_read_lock_sched_notrace() is fully valid and sufficient so long as rcu_is_watching() is true. Define and use guard(rcu_sched_notrace)() across fprobe_ftrace_entry(), fprobe_fgraph_entry(), and fprobe_return(). This eliminates fast-path rcu_read_lock() and lockdep overhead while guaranteeing safe grace period synchronization.

2026-09-29sched_ext: Work around pahole 1.32 dropping scx_bpf_task_set_lazy_resched() ↵Tejun Heo
from BTF With clang and pahole 1.32, x86-64 vmlinux BTF lacks scx_bpf_task_set_lazy_resched() and sched_ext fails to initialize: sched_ext: Failed to register kfunc sets (-22) clang describes the lazy argument only after the prologue moves it into a callee-saved register, which pahole 1.32 rejects as not being the argument register.

The existing date range test covers +/-80,000 years around the epoch, far below the day count at which a 32-bit long wraps (2^31 days, roughly 5.88 million years). Add a case at exactly 2^31 days after the epoch.

2026-09-29time: Prevent time64_to_tm() day truncation on 32-bitKarl Mehltretter
time64_to_tm() accepts a 64-bit seconds value, but stores the quotient in long. On a 32-bit kernel the day count therefore wraps when it reaches 2^31, even though the corresponding year remains representable in struct tm. This is reachable when formatting externally supplied timestamps. For example, NILFS recovery copies the little-endian 64-bit ss_create field from an on-disk segment summary into time64_t. Its sysfs attributes then print that value with %ptTs, whose formatter calls time64_to_tm(). A corrupted image can consequently produce an architecture-dependent printed date. Keep the day quotient in s64 while leaving the seconds-within-day remainder as long. Use div_s64_rem() for the weekday calculation so 32-bit builds do not require compiler runtime division helpers.

2026-09-29timekeeping: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE() for ktime_sec to prevent tearingThomas Weißschuh
The timekeeper update path uses a bulk memcpy() to synchronize the timekeeper structure, which is not guaranteed to be atomic. This allows for torn reads in ktime_get_seconds() which bypasses the sequence counter protection for performance. To prevent reading a torn ktime_sec value, enforce atomic-like access by using WRITE_ONCE() for the critical field before the bulk memcpy() in timekeeping_update_from_shadow(). Correspondingly, use READ_ONCE() in ktime_get_seconds() to ensure a fresh, consistent load from memory. The same was done for xtime_sec and ktime_get_real_seconds() in commit d7fc133bf91f ("timekeeping: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE() for xtime_sec to prevent tearing").

2026-09-29tick/nohz: Avoid unused timekeeping_max_deferment() callsUsama Arif
tick_nohz_next_event() limits a CPU's sleep interval to the maximum deferment supported by the current clocksource when that CPU owns the do_timer() duty. If the duty is unassigned, the limit also applies when the CPU's TS_FLAG_DO_TIMER_LAST flag is set. After the early timer checks, the function currently reads the maximum deferment unconditionally. It then replaces the result with KTIME_MAX unless one of the two conditions above applies. timekeeping_max_deferment() performs a seqcount-protected read of the shared timekeeper and follows its clocksource pointer. Check the do_timer state first and avoid this work when the result would be discarded. This leaves the resulting expiry unchanged and reduces accesses to timekeeper data that is modified regularly. On x86-64 this removes 18-20 dynamically executed instructions, including the call, from the common non-owner path when the seqcount does not retry.

2026-09-29tick/nohz: Remove redundant local_irq_save()/restore()Usama Arif
tick_nohz_update_jiffies() is only reached through tick_irq_enter() from hard interrupt entry, where local interrupts are already disabled. tick_do_update_jiffies64() requires interrupts to be disabled. The local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() pair around it therefore provides no additional interrupt exclusion. Remove it and assert the caller invariant instead. On x86-64, this avoids the redundant RFLAGS save, CLI, saved-IF test and conditional branch on the tick-stopped path. On a 252-CPU host running a Thrift RPC service, tick_irq_enter() ran 165,116 times/s out of 212-244k interrupts/s. Only calls with TS_FLAG_STOPPED reach the optimized path, so this is an upper bound on its execution rate.

2026-09-29printk: Use two irq_works instead per-CPUSebastian Andrzej Siewior
In commit b845b517b5e37 ("printk: robustify printk") initially got its delayed wake up which is today implemented via the irq_work. Back then it was a variable which was assigned to 1 if a pending wake up was waiting. This variable was checked on each timer tick. Therefore it makes sense to assign a per-CPU variable with this task to avoid cache line bouncing when each CPU reads the variable on each timer tick simultaneously. Today we have a irq_work which is enqueued onto a list and handled if it has work items assigned. This list is already per-CPU. We could replace the per-CPU irq_work and the per-CPU printk_pending with two irq_work structs: One for PRINTK_PENDING_WAKEUP and the other for PRINTK_PENDING_OUTPUT. While unrolling the conditions in __wake_up_klogd() it becomes obvious that PRINTK_PENDING_WAKEUP is always passed as an argument but never checked. The return value wq_has_sleeper() of does not really matter it's sole purpose is to enforce the needed memory barrier. Redo the irq_work by: - Use one irq_work (pending_wakeup_work) for klogd wakes. Schedule it only if there is a sleeper waiting. - Use one irq_work (&pending_output_work) for output printing. Schedule it only if PRINTK_PENDING_OUTPUT passed. - Drop unused PRINTK_PENDING_WAKEUP. - Remove the preempt_disable() section. Its purpose was to ensure that printk_pending and wake_up_klogd_work is accessed from the same CPU. Worst case is defer_console_output() where two irq_work are scheduled but those get processed one after the other during the HZ tick so it shouldn't get worse.

Replace that loop and its outgoing-stack validation with check_func_args(). The scratch prototype is indexed by BTF parameter and the call metadata carries the BTF function prototype. The existing BTF argument iteration therefore maps parameters to ABI slots for both kfunc and BPF subprogram calls, including additional slots occupied by by-value aggregates. The common checker can return non-EFAULT errors other than -EINVAL, as the existing BTF-ID path already did. This is compatible with subprog call handling: only -EFAULT is fatal.

Start the migration by routing the scalar branch through check_func_arg() and update the verifier-log expectation. Use the BTF parameter index for metadata and the ABI slot index for register lookup. Route extra slots of by-value aggregates through check_arg_extra_slot() so every occupied slot follows the common path. Following patches can extend this guarded common-check branch as each remaining BPF-subprogram-specific implementation is removed.

2026-09-29bpf: Build argument prototypes for subprog callsAmery Hung
The common argument checker consumes a parameter-indexed bpf_func_proto, while BPF subprogram argument metadata is cached by ABI slot in compact bpf_subprog_info entries. Embedding a full prototype in every fixed subprogram entry would waste memory. Embed a scratch prototype in the verifier environment. Fill it by walking BTF parameters and the cached slots with separate cursors, mirroring the kfunc representation for parameters that occupy multiple slots. Keep the compact cache as the source of truth. The verifier environment is already heap allocated, so this avoids a separate allocation, failure path, and cleanup. Keep the existing validation loop, but make it consume the generated prototype in preparation for moving BPF subprogram calls to the common argument checker. No functional change.

2026-09-29bpf: Identify subprog calls in argument metadataAmery Hung
Prepare subprog calls to use the common check_func_args() path. That checker distinguishes call kinds through bpf_call_arg_meta, but btf_check_func_arg_match() leaves both BTF and the function ID zero even though it validates a program-BTF signature. Represent a subprog call with a non-NULL BTF and a zero function ID. Define helpers as NULL BTF plus nonzero ID, and kfuncs as non-NULL BTF plus nonzero ID. Requiring a nonzero kfunc ID also prevents unavailable special-kfunc IDs from matching subprog metadata. The corresponding subprog predicate is introduced later alongside its first use. Setting BTF would expose checks that treat every BTF-backed call as a kfunc. Restrict kfunc-only BTF parameter lookup, register admission, release diagnostics, no-cast alias, and projection handling to actual kfuncs. The BTF is not modified here, but bpf_call_arg_meta::btf and several downstream consumers use non-const pointers. Match those existing types instead of broadening this series with a const-correctness cleanup. No functional change is intended.

2026-09-29bpf: Fix kfunc BTF parameter lookups after wide argumentsAmery Hung
Several kfunc argument checks index BTF parameters using the ABI slot number. Parameter and slot indexes diverge after a by-value argument wider than one eightbyte, so a later argument can select the wrong BTF parameter or index past the end of the function prototype. This affects the BTF lookups in check_func_arg_nullability() and check_func_arg_release(), and the parameter passed to btf_check_iter_arg() by process_iter_arg(). check_func_arg() already tracks the BTF parameter and ABI slot separately.

2026-09-29bpf: Skip detached progs in trampoline images that are still in useFlorent Revest (Anthropic)
bpf_tramp_image_put() makes sure a trampoline image is not freed while a task may still be running in it, but nothing similar is done for the progs called by that image. Detach drops the last prog reference right away and the prog is freed after grace periods, on the basis that a task still in the traced function skips the fexit progs once the nop at ip_after_call is patched to a jump. That leaves out a task sleeping in a sleepable prog that runs before the detached one, which no grace period waits for: CPU 0 CPU 1 in image I, sleeping in prog S detach P from I's trampoline -> new image, bpf_tramp_image_put(I) bpf_prog_put(P), last ref grace periods, P freed back from S __bpf_prog_enter(P) call P->bpf_func If S and P are fexit progs the task is already past the patched jump, and fentry only images don't have one. On x86 this is an int3 in poisoned bpf_prog_pack memory: Oops: int3: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI CPU: 18 UID: 0 PID: 94573 Comm: x169 Not tainted 6.18.44 #1 PREEMPT(lazy) RIP: 0010:0xffffffffc0601d8d Call Trace: <TASK> ? bpf_trampoline_6442515411+0x1a4/0x21b bpf_lsm_bprm_committed_creds+0x5/0x10 security_bprm_committed_creds+0x5f/0x70 begin_new_exec+0x2d6/0x410 ... We hit this in production when progs attached through trampolines got detached while their hooks were busy, and it was independently found with a fuzzer and KASAN. Have the JITs emit a patchable nop in front of each prog call sequence and record it in the image. When a prog is detached, patch its nop to a jump over the call sequence. Progs that stay attached keep running for the tasks that are in the image, and ip_after_call isn't needed anymore. The task can be in any image that isn't freed yet, not only in the current one. It sleeps in image I1 that calls S, P and Q, then P is detached and the trampoline moves to image I2, then Q is detached and its call is still in I1. So the trampoline keeps a list of its images until they are freed, and detaching a prog patches its nop in all of them. Images hold a reference on the trampoline for that long. On riscv and loongarch a jump of any range takes several instructions, and a task preempted in the middle of them could resume into half of the new sequence. The nop is a single instruction there, patched to a near branch through arch_bpf_trampoline_skip(). With the extra nops, BPF_MAX_TRAMP_LINKS progs no longer fit in a page on x86 and arm64 (and already didn't on powerpc), so lower the limit there like s390 does.

2026-09-29bpf: Wait for an RCU tasks grace period before freeing trampoline progsFlorent Revest (Anthropic)
When a prog is detached from a trampoline, it is freed after an RCU grace period, or an RCU tasks trace one if it is sleepable. This covers the tasks that are running the prog, since the prog's enter helper takes the matching read lock before the prog is called. On a preemptible kernel, it doesn't cover a task that was preempted in the trampoline just before the enter helper. That task holds no lock yet, and it calls the prog after it was freed: BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x3a5/0x3f0 Read of size 8 at addr ffffc90000055040 by task candidate/110 CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 110 Comm: candidate Not tainted 7.3.0-rc2-00014-g15071f2a1263-dirty #2 PREEMPT(full) Call Trace: <TASK> __bpf_prog_enter_recur+0x3a5/0x3f0 bpf_trampoline_6442509193+0x37/0xf1 __x64_sys_futex+0x9/0x410 do_syscall_64+0xb0/0x530 ... Wait for an RCU tasks grace period before the existing one when freeing a prog that was linked to a trampoline. An RCU tasks grace period only ends once the tasks that were preempted have run again, and bpf_tramp_image_put() already relies on it to free the image. It doesn't wait for tasks that sleep in the trampoline, the next commit takes care of those. Only progs that were linked to a trampoline can be called this way, so bpf_trampoline_add_prog() marks them and other progs are still freed as before.

2026-09-28sched_ext: Delegate proxy donor admission to BPF schedulersAndrea Righi
Proxy execution keeps a mutex-blocked donor runnable so that its scheduling context can execute the mutex owner. Define SCX_OPS_ENQ_BLOCKED as the admission contract for retained donors. Schedulers without the flag block EXT donors normally. Schedulers with the flag continue to own blocked donors and receive them through ops.enqueue() with SCX_ENQ_BLOCKED, allowing BPF to choose their DSQ, CPU and ordering. After BPF dispatches a donor, proxy execution may move its context to the rq of the mutex owner. This move is distinct from BPF placement: proxy_set_task_cpu() changes task_cpu() while preserving the donor's pre-proxy CPU in wake_cpu as the starting point for normal wakeup placement. A proxy-migrated donor returns through the full wakeup activation path when the mutex is released. Do not carry a retained proxy session across BPF scheduler ownership changes. Before root activation, parent-to-child takeover, rehome or punt, fully deactivate a retained donor unconditionally. The incoming scheduler then starts with clean task state and applies its admission policy the next time the task blocks. A retained donor can wake through ttwu_runnable() without another enqueue_task_scx() call. Use WF_TTWU_RQ to identify this path, where the wakeup skipped activation and enqueueing. wakeup_preempt_scx() requests dispatch reconsideration after is_blocked is cleared. A full wakeup activation has already enqueued the task and does not need another reschedule. Blocked-donor enqueueing takes precedence over the exiting and migration-disabled local-DSQ fallbacks, so that an opted-in scheduler sees every eligible donor request.

2026-09-28sched_ext: Track proxy execution for NOHZ_FULLAndrea Righi
scx_can_stop_tick() currently treats any blocked rq->donor as an active proxy session. However, rq->donor can temporarily still identify an outgoing blocked task while the scheduler selects an ordinary execution context. A dependency update in that window can keep TICK_DEP_BIT_SCHED set after the context switch. Track whether proxy resolution actually selected a different execution context. Keep the tick active while that state is set instead of deriving it from a potentially stale donor. When proxy execution ends, clear the state and queue a balance callback to reevaluate the tick dependency after context_switch() updates rq->curr. This lets sched_can_stop_tick() observe the complete donor and execution selection without adding work outside the existing proxy-execution branch. Conservatively re-enable the periodic scheduler tick for the duration of proxy execution. Allowing proxy execution itself to run tickless would require making the remote NOHZ scheduler tick aware of the split between rq->curr and rq->donor, which is left as a future improvement. Perform the tick update from scx_proxy_reenqueue_retry(), which already runs after proxy resolution, so scheduler core needs no additional hook. Compile the additional runqueue state and callback out when CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is disabled. Signed-off-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2026-09-28sched_ext: Split curr|donor references properlyAndrea Righi
With proxy execution, the task selected by the scheduler and the task physically executing can differ. A blocked mutex waiter donates its scheduling context to the lock owner: D -----------------> M -------------> O ----------------> T [donor] blocked on [mutex] owned by [owner] preempted by [task] \_________________________________^ donates scheduling context where: D = blocked donor M = mutex O = mutex owner T = competing runnable task During a proxy execution switch, D supplies the scheduling class, priority, and runtime budget, while O supplies the execution context: O is the task whose code physically executes. T is a competing runnable task which may preempt the D/O proxy execution. Consider FAIR and EXT tasks with sched_ext running in partial mode. FAIR can be replaced with a higher scheduling class such as RT or deadline without changing the class interaction described here. An active proxy pair can only have a donor in the same scheduling class as the owner or in a higher-priority class. If the owner belongs to a higher-priority class, pick_next_task() selects the owner directly before considering the donor, so find_proxy_task() is not entered for that donor. The blocked-on relationship may still exist, but it does not result in proxy execution. The relevant combinations are: 1. D is EXT, O is EXT, T is EXT D can interrupt T according to BPF scheduling policy. O executes with D's EXT priority and runtime budget, while T waits in EXT. 2. D is EXT, O is EXT, T is FAIR D is visible to the BPF scheduler, but cannot preempt T because EXT is below FAIR. Once T stops, BPF can dispatch D and O executes with D's EXT priority and runtime budget. If T becomes runnable again, it preempts the D/O proxy execution. 3. D is FAIR, O is EXT, T is EXT D preempts T as the higher-class scheduling context. O executes with D's FAIR priority and runtime budget, while T waits in EXT. D is not visible to the BPF scheduler. 4. D is FAIR, O is EXT, T is FAIR D competes with T according to its FAIR deadline. When D is selected, O executes with D's FAIR priority and runtime budget. D is not visible to the BPF scheduler. 5. D is FAIR, O is FAIR, T is EXT The D/O proxy execution has a FAIR scheduling context, so T cannot preempt it from the lower EXT class. 6. D is FAIR, O is FAIR, T is FAIR O, T, and D all have FAIR scheduling contexts. D remains runnable as a blocked proxy donor. When CFS selects D, O executes using D's FAIR scheduling context. When CFS selects O, O executes using its own FAIR context, and when CFS selects T, T executes normally. D is not visible to the BPF scheduler. Thus, sched_ext policy and accounting must generally use rq->donor, the scheduler-selected task which supplies the scheduling context, rather than rq->curr, the task whose code physically executes. Without proxy execution they are the same task. On nohz_full CPUs, keep the tick running whenever the selected donor is blocked. A selected blocked donor is necessarily awaiting proxy execution, so this avoids relying on the transient relationship between rq->curr and rq->donor during context switches. It also leaves ordinary sched_ext context switches and non-nohz_full CPUs untouched. Allowing proxy execution to run tickless remains a future improvement. Moreover, extend scx_dump_state() to report both contexts. Each CPU record now includes a donor= line. If an EXT donor differs from rq->curr, also emit its detailed task record. The existing '*' marker continues to identify rq->curr, while the donor= line identifies the otherwise unmarked donor record. Note that at this point in the series, CONFIG_SCHED_PROXY_EXEC still depends on !CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT, so proxy execution and sched_ext cannot be enabled together. The scheduling changes are therefore preparatory. A later patch removes this restriction.

2026-09-28sched_ext: Handle proxy-exec races in remote DSQ transfersAndrea Righi
Without proxy execution, the DSQ lock and holding_cpu handshake ensure that a task cannot be dequeued or start running during an rq-lock handoff without clearing holding_cpu. Proxy execution is an exception: a task can start physically executing as a lock owner while its scheduling context remains on a DSQ; its on-CPU or migration-disabled state can therefore change without clearing holding_cpu. Recheck these states after acquiring the source rq lock. If the transfer can no longer proceed, park the task on the source rq's reject DSQ and reenqueue it through its owning scheduler. This preserves the BPF scheduler's placement policy and keeps descendant tasks within their sub-scheduler's cap grants. Queue a deferred drain for every rejection. If a drain finds a proxy-rejected task still running or donating, leave it parked and record a retry request on the rq. scx_proxy_reenqueue_retry() consumes the request and schedules another drain when proxy state changes. Without this change and proxy execution enabled, stress-ng --pipeherd can trigger this race and migrate an active execution context, leading to sleeping-while-atomic warnings and subsequent lockdep corruption. This is a preparatory change to support proxy execution with sched_ext.

2026-09-28sched_ext: Generalize the reject DSQ reenqueue pathAndrea Righi
The reject DSQ is currently specific to sub-scheduler cap failures. Its storage and initialization depend on CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED, and the drain path assumes every rejected task was rejected for SCX_TASK_REENQ_CAP. Other transient placement failures need the same ability to park a task on its source rq and return it to the owning BPF scheduler. Make the reject DSQ unconditional and carry the reenqueue reason directly in p->scx.flags from the rejection site. A reenqueue reason remains valid while ops.enqueue() runs so that BPF can inspect it. Clear it immediately after the callback returns and before resolving a direct dispatch. Paths which bypass ops.enqueue() clear the reason before the kernel-selected placement. A rejection from the new placement can therefore install its reason into a clear field. Route all paths through a common cleanup point to enforce this ordering. This is a preparatory change to support proxy execution with sched_ext.

2026-09-28sched_ext: Fix ops.running/stopping() pairing for proxy-exec donorsAndrea Righi
With proxy execution, pick_next_task() can select a blocked task as the scheduling context before find_proxy_task() resolves the execution context. From the BPF scheduler perspective, that donor is running while its scheduling context drives the lock owner; ops.tick() and other accounting must therefore remain enclosed by a matching ops.running()/ops.stopping() session. In this scenario, the session boundaries do not always match physical task switches. Keep the "running" session open when the same donor continues on the same CPU. When proxy execution migrates a donor's scheduling context to another CPU, end its running session on the source CPU and start a new session on the destination CPU only after proxy resolution succeeds. This prevents a failed resolution from exposing a provisional ops.running() event. Track these sessions with a new SCX_TASK_RUN_TRACKED flag. The explicit running-state tracking is also required by later donor-based accounting: it prevents an EXT owner executing for a non-EXT donor from being treated as the active EXT scheduling context when it is dequeued. This is a preparatory change for enabling proxy execution together with sched_ext.

2026-09-28sched_ext: Block proxy donors before taking controlAndrea Righi
Proxy execution retains mutex-blocked donors on the runqueue so their scheduling context can execute a lock owner. sched_ext cannot safely inherit such donors unless the BPF scheduler explicitly participates in their admission and ordering. Make sched_ext reject retained donors by default. Implement scx_allow_proxy_exec() to force blocked EXT tasks through the regular block path in schedule(). A donor retained by another scheduling class may already be queued when sched_ext is enabled or when a task switches to SCHED_EXT. Fully block the donor before sched_change_begin() records its queued state. This prevents sched_ext from importing a proxy session which the BPF scheduler did not admit, while leaving ordinary FAIR, RT and DL class transitions untouched.

2026-09-28sched_ext: cid: Represent clusters explicitlyAndrea Righi
The sched_ext CID topology gives each core, LLC and NUMA node a contiguous CID range. Without cluster entries, schedulers cannot obtain their CID range or global index. Walk cores by cache-sharing cluster and add cluster_cid and cluster_idx to scx_cid_topo. Treat the level inclusively: a core without a wider cluster forms one of its own, while an LLC-wide cache-sharing group forms one cluster. This gives every cluster a contiguous CID range and a dense index. The walk now takes cores in cluster order rather than LLC order. Shards are still cut on core boundaries, so a shard doesn't need to contain a whole cluster; only core, cluster, LLC and node are nested, in that order. The level follows whatever the arch reports through topology_cluster_cpumask(), which on x86 is the L2 sharing mask and is populated independently of CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER. Tested on a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13800H: six SMT P-cores occupy CPUs 0-11, eight E-cores occupy CPUs 12-19 in two four-core L2 modules, and all 20 CPUs share one LLC; the P-core pairs form two-CID clusters, the E-core modules form four-CID clusters, and cluster_idx is dense across all eight clusters.

current_wq_worker() only tells us that %current is a kworker.

Guard the chained-work test with worker->current_pwq. A kworker without current_pwq is not executing work on the target workqueue, so the helper should return false and let the draining/destroying warning fire.
