Subject: [PATCH v4 sched_ext/for-7.3 29/40] sched_ext: Route task slice writes through set_task_slice()
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 11:24:18 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708212429.3405787-30-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708212429.3405787-1-tj@kernel.org>
A later change makes set_task_slice() also drop a pending out-of-band slice
request, so the BPF-triggered writes to p->scx.slice need to funnel through
one place. Introduce set_task_slice() and route those writes through it.
update_curr_scx() decrements curr->scx.slice directly for accounting and is
left alone. No functional change - the helper only assigns p->scx.slice.
v2: Reword the set_task_slice comment to "BPF-triggered writes". (Andrea)
