Subject: [PATCH sched_ext/for-6.19] sched_ext: Pass locked CPU parameter to scx_hardlockup() and add docs
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 15:33:41 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aRaG9X9xfS_QL2QF@slm.duckdns.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAD=FV=Ujf7PJxBANGv4e6oVa9YMS4sNLvxp=u+=5n5aaAAn9Cw@mail.gmail.com>

With the buddy lockup detector, smp_processor_id() returns the detecting CPU,
not the locked CPU, making scx_hardlockup()'s printouts confusing. Pass the
locked CPU number from watchdog_hardlockup_check() as a parameter instead.

Also add kerneldoc comments to handle_lockup(), scx_hardlockup(), and
scx_rcu_cpu_stall() documenting their return value semantics.
