Subject: [PATCH v2 sched_ext/for-7.3 27/36] sched_ext: Route task slice writes through set_task_slice()
Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 15:40:49 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706014058.439853-28-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706014058.439853-1-tj@kernel.org>
A later change makes every write to p->scx.slice also drop a pending
out-of-band slice request, which needs all such writes to go through one
place. Introduce set_task_slice() and route the existing direct writes
through it. No functional change - the helper only assigns p->scx.slice.
