Subject: [PATCH 4/4] sched_ext: Don't enable non-ext tasks in the sub-sched task loops
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 11:30:58 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716213058.1739522-5-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260716213058.1739522-1-tj@kernel.org>

Root enable and scx_post_fork() enable a task only if it's on the ext class.
Tasks on other classes, possible under an SCX_OPS_SWITCH_PARTIAL root, are
left READY and enabled by switching_to_scx() when they switch over. The sub
enable-commit pass and the sub-disable re-home loop enable unconditionally,
so a fair-class READY task in the subtree becomes ENABLED while not on
sched_ext. A later switch to SCHED_EXT then trips the task state validation
WARN (ENABLED with the previous state not READY) and calls ops.enable() a
second time.

Gate scx_enable_task() on the task's class in both loops.

Fixes: 337ec00b1d9c ("sched_ext: Implement cgroup sub-sched enabling and disabling")
