Subject: [PATCH sched_ext/for-7.1-fixes] sched_ext: Call wakeup_preempt() in local_dsq_post_enq()
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:22:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424092245.3212529-1-jpiecuch@google.com> (raw)
There are several edge cases (see linked thread) where an IMMED task
can be left lingering on a local DSQ if an RT task swoops in at the
wrong time. All of these edge cases are due to rq->next_class being idle
even after dispatching a task to rq's local DSQ. We should bump
rq->next_class to &ext_sched_class as soon as we've inserted a task into
the local DSQ.
To optimize the common case of rq->next_class == &ext_sched_class,
only call wakeup_preempt() if rq->next_class is below EXT. If next_class
is EXT or above, wakeup_preempt() is a no-op anyway.
