Subject: [PATCH v5 sched_ext/for-7.3 01/33] sched_ext: Assert per-task ops run on the task's owner
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 12:50:09 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709225041.1695495-2-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709225041.1695495-1-tj@kernel.org>
A per-task op must be dispatched on the scheduler that owns the task.
SCX_CALL_OP_TASK() and its _RET twin take @sch explicitly, and a caller that
passes the wrong scheduler would silently run the op on it. Add a
WARN_ON_ONCE() that @sch matches the task's owner so such a mismatch is
caught rather than hidden.
Two sites legitimately target a scheduler other than the task's owner:
cgroup_move() runs on the root sched, and scx_sub_init_cancel_task() fires
exit_task() on a task not yet associated with @sch. Both switch to the inner
__SCX_CALL_OP_TASK(), which dispatches on the explicit @sch without the
assert.
