Subject: [PATCH 4/5] selftests/sched_ext: Add SCX_ASSERT_ALIVE and adopt it
Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 21:41:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009134104.296891-5-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261009134104.296891-1-cui.tao@linux.dev>
From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
A scheduler that dies mid-test freezes the state that the test is
about to assert on, so the assertions can pass vacuously. Add
SCX_ASSERT_ALIVE(), which fails the test with the recorded exit kind
and code, and use it in maximal, create_dsq and init_enable_count.
Existing open-coded checks keep their goto-based cleanup and are not
converted. init_enable_count also clears the uei between its two
attach cycles, since the clean unregister of the first cycle would
otherwise trip the check of the second.
