Subject: [PATCH v2 10/15] sched_ext: Add per-CPU data to DSQs
Date: Fri, 06 Mar 2026 13:09:30 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <af18f4873ed5d2ef606c55923acc1014@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306190623.1076074-11-tj@kernel.org>
Add per-CPU data structure to dispatch queues. Each DSQ now has a percpu
scx_dsq_pcpu which contains a back-pointer to the DSQ. This will be used by
future changes to implement per-CPU reenqueue tracking for user DSQs.
init_dsq() now allocates the percpu data and can fail, so it returns an
error code. All callers are updated to handle failures. exit_dsq() is added
to free the percpu data and is called from all DSQ cleanup paths.
In scx_bpf_create_dsq(), init_dsq() is called before rcu_read_lock() since
alloc_percpu() requires GFP_KERNEL context, and dsq->sched is set
afterwards.
v2: Fix err_free_pcpu to only exit_dsq() initialized bypass DSQs (Andrea
Righi).
