Subject: [PATCH sched_ext/for-7.3] sched_ext: skip ops.set_weight() for disabled tasks
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:43:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710144342.3802587-1-jpiecuch@google.com> (raw)
When switching a task's sched_class away from sched_ext, we get the
following sequence of events in __sched_setscheduler():
sched_change_begin()
switched_from_scx()
scx_disable_task(p)
ops.disable(p)
__setscheduler_params()
set_load_weight()
reweight_task_scx(p)
ops.set_weight(p)
p->sched_class = next_class;
sched_change_end()
...
Notably, ops.set_weight() is called _after_ ops.disable().
This violates the expected semantics of the callbacks, the expectation
being that ops.disable() can only be followed by ops.exit_task() or
ops.enable().
Skipping the weight adjustment for disabled tasks should be harmless
since the weight will be recalculated in scx_enable_task() if the task
ever rejoins SCX.
