Subject: [PATCH 2/8] sched_ext: Factor out scx_rehome_task() and scx_punt_task()
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 22:17:21 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260718081727.582037-3-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260718081727.582037-1-tj@kernel.org>
Factor out scx_rehome_task() and scx_punt_task() from the sub-disable
re-home loop and scx_fail_parent(). The upcoming cgroup migration re-homing
also needs scx_rehome_task(). No functional changes.
