Subject: [PATCH sched_ext/for-7.3 32/32] tools/sched_ext: scx_qmap - Add sub-sched cap fault injection
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 22:01:59 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703080159.2314350-33-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703080159.2314350-1-tj@kernel.org>
Add a fault-injection mode to the scx_qmap sub-scheduler that deliberately
dispatches one of its own tasks to a cid it does not hold. The kernel cap
check must reject it and re-enqueue with SCX_TASK_REENQ_CAP, so the
nr_inject_attempts counter tracks nr_reenq_cap one to one, exercising the
delivery-time cap enforcement.
