Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] sched_ext/scx_flatcg: make cgv_node_less() wraparound-safe
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 10:48:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902024812.794879-3-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902024812.794879-1-cui.tao@linux.dev>

From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>

cgv_node_less() compares cvtimes with a plain <, which misorders once
cvtime wraps: the wrapped node lands at the front of the tree while
the unwrapped ones get stuck behind it. Each CPU picking a cgroup
charges it a full slice, making wrap occur earlier than a naive
estimate might suggest.

Use time_before() instead. cgrp_cap_budget() bounds the lag behind
cvtime_now, while the lead is bounded by the slice charge plus pending
cvtime_delta on re-insertion, so the cyclic ordering assumptions of
time_before() hold.
