Subject: [PATCH 06/14] sched_ext: Block proxy donors across scheduler transitions
Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2026 18:04:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260725160513.57477-7-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260725160513.57477-1-arighi@nvidia.com>

Proxy execution retains mutex-blocked donors on the runqueue so their
scheduling context can execute a lock owner. sched_ext cannot safely
retain such donors unless the BPF scheduler explicitly participates in
their admission and ordering.

Make sched_ext reject retained donors by default. Implement
scx_allow_proxy_exec() to force blocked EXT tasks through the regular
block path in schedule(), and fully deactivate a retained donor before
sched_setscheduler(), PI de-boosting, or global activation moves it into
the EXT class.

This is a preparatory change to support proxy execution with sched_ext.
