Subject: [PATCH v27 05/10] sched: Rework block_task so it can be directly called
Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2026 05:36:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260404053632.1729280-6-jstultz@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260404053632.1729280-1-jstultz@google.com>
Pull most of the logic out of try_to_block_task() and put it
into block_task() directly, so that we can call block_task() and
not have to worry about the failing cases in try_to_block_task()
Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
