Subject: [PATCH 02/46] sched_ext: Improve SCX_KF_DISPATCH comment
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 14:58:25 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250920005931.2753828-3-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250920005931.2753828-1-tj@kernel.org>
The comment for SCX_KF_DISPATCH was incomplete and didn't explain that
ops.dispatch() may temporarily release the rq lock, allowing ENQUEUE and
SELECT_CPU operations to be nested inside DISPATCH contexts.
Update the comment to clarify this nesting behavior and provide better
context for when these operations can occur within dispatch.
