Subject: [PATCH v2 sched_ext/for-7.3 26/36] sched_ext: Assign a unique id to each scheduler instance
Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 15:40:48 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706014058.439853-27-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706014058.439853-1-tj@kernel.org>
Neither a scx_sched pointer nor its cgroup id uniquely identifies a
scheduler instance. A freed sched's memory can be reallocated, and a cgroup
can detach one sched and attach another. Add a monotonic, never-reused u64
id. A later patch compares it to drop a slice request that outlived a change
of a task's owning scheduler.
