Subject: [PATCH sched_ext/for-6.15] sched_ext: initialize built-in idle state before ops.init()
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2025 09:57:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250324085753.27112-1-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)
A BPF scheduler may want to use the built-in idle cpumasks in ops.init()
before the scheduler is fully initialized, either directly or through a
BPF timer for example.
However, this would result in an error, since the idle state has not
been properly initialized yet.
This can be easily verified by modifying scx_simple to call
scx_bpf_get_idle_cpumask() in ops.init():
$ sudo scx_simple
DEBUG DUMP
===========================================================================
scx_simple[121] triggered exit kind 1024:
runtime error (built-in idle tracking is disabled)
...
Fix this by properly initializing the idle state before ops.init() is
called. With this change applied:
$ sudo scx_simple
local=2 global=0
local=19 global=11
local=23 global=11
...
Fixes: d73249f88743d ("sched_ext: idle: Make idle static keys private")
