Environment

- Active Scheduler:
sched_ext (scx_beerland_1.1.1)
- Desktop Environment: Wayland (Sway)
Description
My entire graphical environment (Sway) and inputs (mouse/keyboard) froze completely. Interestingly, network and audio streams (such as Discord voice chat) continued to run on background interrupts, but user-space was completely unresponsive and systemd-journald was unable to write any new entries (journalctl --user -b -e returned empty).
I was able to SSH into the machine and captured a severe kernel hang involving a blocked kworker in state D (uninterruptible sleep). The worker appears to be deadlocked in the eBPF local storage map cleanup path, waiting on srcu_barrier / wait_for_completion under the scx_beerland scheduler.

Steps to Reproduce
Unspontaneous freeze while using the desktop (running Discord and Sway with scx_beerland active). I had to perform an emergency SysRq reboot via SSH to safely recover.
