Subject: [PATCH 7.1.y] sched_ext: Skip ops.set_weight() for disabled tasks
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 15:04:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721150403.3680077-1-jpiecuch@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072139-phrasing-scroll-e4fa@gregkh>

When switching a task's sched_class away from sched_ext, we get the
following sequence of events in __sched_setscheduler():

sched_change_begin()
  switched_from_scx()
    scx_disable_task(p)
      ops.disable(p)
__setscheduler_params()
  set_load_weight()
    reweight_task_scx(p)
      ops.set_weight(p)
p->sched_class = next_class;
sched_change_end()
  ...

Notably, ops.set_weight() is called _after_ ops.disable().
This violates the expected semantics of the callbacks, the expectation
being that ops.disable() can only be followed by ops.exit_task() or
ops.enable().

Skipping the weight adjustment for disabled tasks should be harmless
since the weight will be recalculated in scx_enable_task() if the task
ever rejoins SCX.
