Subject: [PATCH 2/7] sched_ext: Improve SCX_KF_DISPATCH comment
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2025 15:32:41 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250922013246.275031-2-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250922013246.275031-1-tj@kernel.org>
The comment for SCX_KF_DISPATCH was incomplete and didn't explain that
ops.dispatch() may temporarily release the rq lock, allowing ENQUEUE and
SELECT_CPU operations to be nested inside DISPATCH contexts.
Update the comment to clarify this nesting behavior and provide better
context for when these operations can occur within dispatch.
