Subject: [PATCH 5/6] sched/proxy: Remove PROXY_WAKING
Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 13:16:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260526113322.596522894@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260526111609.433880331@infradead.org>
From: K Prateek Nayak <kprateek.nayak@amd.com>
Now that the proxy path uses ->is_blocked, use the '->is_blocked &&
!->blocked_on' state instead of PROXY_WAKING. Notably, this is where a
blocked_on relation is broken but the donor task might still need a return
migration.
