sched_ext: Fix incorrect sched_class settings for per-cpu migration tasks (2025-12-01 10:58:49 -1000)
Please note that sched_ext-for-6.19 is based on v6.18 + tip/sched-core-2025-12-01 + cgroup/for-6.19.
When merging sched_ext-for-6.19 into the above base, there is a trivial merge conflict in kernel/sched/ext.c around pick_task_scx(). Both sched_ext and tip sched/core independently pulled in a8ad873113d3 ("sched_ext: defer queue_balance_callback() until after ops.dispatch") resolving conflicts slightly differently (whitespace only). 67fa319f5fff ("sched_ext: Allow forcibly picking an scx task") then added further changes in the same area. Resolve by taking the sched_ext side.
---------------------------------------------------------------- sched_ext: Changes for v6.19
- Improve recovery from misbehaving BPF schedulers. When a scheduler puts many tasks with varying affinity restrictions on a shared DSQ, CPUs scanning through tasks they cannot run can overwhelm the system, causing lockups. Bypass mode now uses per-CPU DSQs with a load balancer to avoid this, and hooks into the hardlockup detector to attempt recovery. Add scx_cpu0 example scheduler to demonstrate this scenario.
- Add lockless peek operation for DSQs to reduce lock contention for schedulers that need to query queue state during load balancing.
- Allow scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() to be called from anywhere in preparation for deprecating cpu_acquire/release() callbacks in favor of generic BPF hooks.
- Prepare for hierarchical scheduler support: add scx_bpf_task_set_slice() and scx_bpf_task_set_dsq_vtime() kfuncs, make scx_bpf_dsq_insert*() return bool, and wrap kfunc args in structs for future aux__prog parameter.
- Implement cgroup_set_idle() callback to notify BPF schedulers when a cgroup's idle state changes.
- Fix migration tasks being incorrectly downgraded from stop_sched_class to rt_sched_class across sched_ext enable/disable. Applied late as the fix is low risk and the bug subtle but needs stable backporting.
- Various fixes and cleanups including cgroup exit ordering, SCX_KICK_WAIT reliability, and backward compatibility improvements.
