Subject: [PATCH 14/15] sched_ext: Simplify task state handling
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 09:06:22 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306190623.1076074-15-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306190623.1076074-1-tj@kernel.org>
Task states (NONE, INIT, READY, ENABLED) were defined in a separate enum with
unshifted values and then shifted when stored in scx_entity.flags. Simplify by
defining them as pre-shifted values directly in scx_ent_flags and removing the
separate scx_task_state enum. This removes the need for shifting when
reading/writing state values.
scx_get_task_state() now returns the masked flags value directly.
scx_set_task_state() accepts the pre-shifted state value. scx_dump_task()
shifts down for display to maintain readable output.
No functional changes.
