Subject: [PATCH v3] sched_ext: Don't warn on core-sched forced idle in put_prev_task_scx()
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:55:48 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629225548.3562257-1-tj@kernel.org> (raw)

put_prev_task_scx() warns when a runnable task drops to a lower sched_class
without SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST, on the assumption that balance_one() would have
kept it running. Core scheduling breaks that: a forced-idle SMT sibling
reschedules through the core_pick fast path in pick_next_task(), which skips
pick_task_scx() and thus balance_one(), so a runnable task can drop to idle
with ENQ_LAST unset.

Gate the warning on sched_cpu_cookie_match(): a cookie mismatch means core
scheduling forced the idle, while a match (or core scheduling off) still
catches a genuine missing-ENQ_LAST drop.

v3: Gate the warning on sched_cpu_cookie_match() so it is suppressed only on
    the forced-idle CPU instead of whenever core scheduling is enabled, so a
    genuine missing-ENQ_LAST drop is still caught (Andrea Righi).
v2: Reworded the description (Kuba Piecuch).

Fixes: 7c65ae81ea86 ("sched_ext: Don't call put_prev_task_scx() before picking the next task")
