Subject: [PATCH 5/5] sched: Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*()
Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2025 16:39:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251127154725.901391274@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20251127153943.696191429@infradead.org
Change sched_class::wakeup_preempt() to also get called for
cross-class wakeups, specifically those where the woken task is of a
higher class than the previous highest class.
In order to do this, track the current highest class of the runqueue
in rq::next_class and have wakeup_preempt() track this upwards for
each new wakeup. Additionally have set_next_task() re-set the value to
the current class.
