Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: idle: honor built-in idle disablement in node kfuncs
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 15:42:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324194235.942952-1-joseph.salisbury@oracle.com> (raw)
The node-aware idle kfunc helpers validate per-node idle tracking, but they
don't check whether built-in idle tracking itself is enabled.
As a result, when ops.update_idle() disables built-in idle tracking, the
node helpers can still read per-node idle masks and attempt idle CPU
selection. This violates the documented behavior and can expose stale
idle state to BPF schedulers.
Fix this by checking check_builtin_idle_enabled() in the node mask getters
and in scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu_node(), matching the behavior of the non-node
helpers.
scx_bpf_pick_any_cpu_node() is different by: when built-in idle
tracking is disabled, it should skip idle selection and fall back directly
to the any-CPU path. Make it do so and match scx_bpf_pick_any_cpu().
Fixes: 01059219b0cf ("sched_ext: idle: Introduce node-aware idle cpu kfunc helpers")
