Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] sched_ext: Inline scx_init_task() and move RESET_RUNNABLE_AT into scx_set_task_state()
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 10:04:48 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510200448.2471037-1-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260510074113.2049514-3-tj@kernel.org>

Prepare for the SCX_TASK_INIT_BEGIN/DEAD work that follows by collapsing the
scx_init_task() helper. Move the SCX_TASK_RESET_RUNNABLE_AT setting into
scx_set_task_state() on the INIT transition (it was set unconditionally at
every INIT site through the scx_init_task() helper), inline scx_init_task()
into scx_fork() and scx_root_enable_workfn(), and drop the helper.

As a side effect, scx_sub_disable() migration sequence now also sets
RESET_RUNNABLE_AT (it previously wrote INIT directly without going through
scx_init_task()). The flag triggers a runnable_at reset on the next
set_task_runnable(), which is harmless on a task that has just been moved
between scheds.

On root-enable, p->scx.flags is written without the task's rq lock. The task
isn't visible to scx yet, and a follow-up patch restores the lock-held
write.

v2: Note p->scx.flags rq-lock relaxation on root-enable path. (Andrea)
