Subject: [PATCH v26 05/10] sched: Fix modifying donor->blocked on without proper locking
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 19:13:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324191337.1841376-6-jstultz@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324191337.1841376-1-jstultz@google.com>

Introduce an action enum in find_proxy_task() which allows
us to handle work needed to be done outside the mutex.wait_lock
and task.blocked_lock guard scopes.

This ensures proper locking when we clear the donor's blocked_on
pointer in proxy_deactivate(), and the switch statement will be
useful as we add more cases to handle later in this series.

Reviewed-by: K Prateek Nayak <kprateek.nayak@amd.com>

v23:
* Split out from earlier patch.
v24:
* Minor re-ordering local variables to keep with style
  as suggested by K Prateek
