Subject: [PATCH v2] sched_ext: Documentation: add note about multiple ops.enqueue() calls in a row
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:28:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420152847.3690794-1-jpiecuch@google.com> (raw)
Commit 84b1a0ea0b7c
("sched_ext: Implement scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() for user DSQs")
introduced the possibility of ops.enqueue() being called multiple times
in a row for the same task without intervening calls to ops.dequeue().
Document this behavior as it may be surprising to some.

When a task leaves BPF scheduler custody, ``ops.dequeue()`` is invoked.
The dequeue can happen for different reasons, distinguished by flags:
