Subject: [PATCH 02/11] sched: Add helper to block retained proxy donors
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 15:20:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716132229.61603-3-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260716132229.61603-1-arighi@nvidia.com>

Scheduler ownership changes may need to turn a mutex-blocked task
retained on the runqueue for proxy execution back into a normally
blocked task.

Add sched_proxy_block_task() to perform that transition while holding
p->pi_lock and the task's runqueue lock. Move an active donor off the
CPU first, and complete any delayed dequeue so a following sched_change
cannot preserve and re-enqueue the task.

This is a preparatory change to support proxy execution with sched_ext.
