Subject: [PATCH v4 sched_ext/for-7.3 30/40] sched_ext: Track the cpu a task is runnable on
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 11:24:19 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708212429.3405787-31-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708212429.3405787-1-tj@kernel.org>
Add p->scx.runnable_cpu, the cpu @p is runnable on, or -1 when it is not.
It is stamped as @p joins the runnable_list (set_task_runnable()) and
cleared as it leaves (clr_task_runnable()), both under the rq lock.
task_cpu() can't answer "is @p on this rq" reliably: a remote wakeup changes
it under @p's pi_lock alone, without the source rq lock, so it can read as
the locked rq while @p is really elsewhere. runnable_cpu changes only under
the rq lock, so a caller holding an rq lock can compare against it to know
whether that is @p's current rq.
