Subject: [PATCH v25 4/9] sched: Fix modifying donor->blocked on without proper locking
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 02:30:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260313023022.2902479-5-jstultz@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260313023022.2902479-1-jstultz@google.com>
Introduce an action enum in find_proxy_task() which allows
us to handle work needed to be done outside the mutex.wait_lock
and task.blocked_lock guard scopes.
This ensures proper locking when we clear the donor's blocked_on
pointer in proxy_deactivate(), and the switch statement will be
useful as we add more cases to handle later in this series.

v23:
* Split out from earlier patch.
v24:
* Minor re-ordering local variables to keep with style
as suggested by K Prateek
