Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Fix incorrect sched_class settings for per-cpu migration tasks
Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 19:25:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251201112540.5119-1-qiang.zhang@linux.dev> (raw)
When loading the ebpf scheduler, the tasks in the scx_tasks list will
be traversed and invoke __setscheduler_class() to get new sched_class.
however, this would also incorrectly set the per-cpu migration
task's->sched_class to rt_sched_class, even after unload, the per-cpu
migration task's->sched_class remains sched_rt_class.
The log for this issue is as follows:
./scx_rustland --stats 1
[ 199.245639][ T630] sched_ext: "rustland" does not implement cgroup cpu.weight
[ 199.269213][ T630] sched_ext: BPF scheduler "rustland" enabled

{ printf("%s:%d->%pS\n", ctx->task->comm, ctx->task->pid, ctx->task->sched_class); }'

migration/6:58->rt_sched_class+0x0/0xe0
migration/7:64->rt_sched_class+0x0/0xe0
This commit therefore generate a new scx_setscheduler_class() and
add check for stop_sched_class to replace __setscheduler_class().
