Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Fix SCX_EFLAG_INITIALIZED being a no-op flag
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 12:45:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226124517.32643-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
SCX_EFLAG_INITIALIZED is the sole member of enum scx_exit_flags with no
explicit value, so the compiler assigns it 0. This makes the bitwise OR
in scx_ops_init() a no-op:
sch->exit_info->flags |= SCX_EFLAG_INITIALIZED; /* |= 0 */
As a result, BPF schedulers cannot distinguish whether ops.init()
completed successfully by inspecting exit_info->flags.
Assign the value 1LLU << 0 so the flag is actually set.
