[PATCH 22/30] sched_ext: Track tasks that are subjects of the in-flight SCX operation

Tejun Heo
2024-06-18T21:21:49Z

When some SCX operations are in flight, it is known that the subject task's
rq lock is held throughout which makes it safe to access certain fields of
the task - e.g. its current task_group. We want to add SCX kfunc helpers
that can make use of this guarantee - e.g. to help determining the currently
associated CPU cgroup from the task's current task_group.

As it'd be dangerous call such a helper on a task which isn't rq lock
protected, the helper should be able to verify the input task and reject
accordingly. This patch adds sched_ext_entity.kf_tasks[] that track the
tasks which are currently being operated on by a terminal SCX operation. The
new SCX_CALL_OP_[2]TASK[_RET]() can be used when invoking SCX operations
which take tasks as arguments and the scx_kf_allowed_on_arg_tasks() can be
used by kfunc helpers to verify the input task status.

Note that as sched_ext_entity.kf_tasks[] can't handle nesting, the tracking
is currently only limited to terminal SCX operations. If needed in the
future, this restriction can be removed by moving the tracking to the task
side with a couple per-task counters.

v2: Updated to reflect the addition of SCX_KF_SELECT_CPU.
