Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: initialize built-in idle state before ops.init()
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2025 09:56:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250324085616.26810-1-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)

A BPF scheduler may want to use the built-in idle cpumasks in ops.init()
before the scheduler is fully initialized, either directly or through a
BPF timer for example.

However, this would result in an error, since the idle state has not
been properly initialized yet.

This can be easily verified by modifying scx_simple to call
scx_bpf_get_idle_cpumask() in ops.init():

$ sudo scx_simple

DEBUG DUMP
===========================================================================

scx_simple[121] triggered exit kind 1024:
  runtime error (built-in idle tracking is disabled)
...

Fix this by properly initializing the idle state before ops.init() is
called. With this change applied:

$ sudo scx_simple
local=2 global=0
local=19 global=11
local=23 global=11
...

Fixes: d73249f88743d ("sched_ext: idle: Make idle static keys private")
