Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] sched_ext: idle: Respect task affinity in restricted CPU selection
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 07:34:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022113411.921725-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026102136-landless-alienate-afa8@gregkh>

From: Hui Su <sh_def@163.com>

[ Upstream commit 6ac4544eff796666ce6fbcc4be8181c81dfccc85 ]

The restricted select_cpu kfunc path handles single-CPU and
migration-disabled tasks without going through scx_select_cpu_dfl().

It currently uses prev_cpu as the candidate, even though prev_cpu is only a
hint and may no longer be usable after an affinity change. With a
caller-provided @allowed mask, this can also return an idle CPU outside
p->cpus_ptr.

Derive the candidate from task state instead: use the sole CPU in
p->cpus_ptr for single-CPU tasks and task_cpu(p) for migration-disabled
tasks. Validate it against p->cpus_ptr and @allowed before claiming its
idle state.

Since the derived candidate may be on a different NUMA node from
prev_cpu, also preserve SCX_PICK_IDLE_IN_NODE by rejecting cross-node
candidates.

Perform all checks before scx_idle_test_and_clear_cpu(), as a successful
call consumes the CPU's idle bit.
