Subject: [PATCH v31 9/9] sched: Distinguish proxy activations from wakeups
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 18:12:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724181238.3445275-10-jstultz@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724181238.3445275-1-jstultz@google.com>

From: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com>

Sleeping-owner handling reactivates blocked waiters with wakeup enqueue
semantics so scheduling classes can restore their runnable accounting.
Unlike a normal wakeup, the waiter remains blocked and is only made
runnable to donate its scheduling context.

Add ENQUEUE_PROXY to identify this activation and set it alongside
ENQUEUE_WAKEUP. Consume the internal marker in sched_ext and suppress
SCX_ENQ_WAKEUP before invoking BPF so the activation can be handled as
a blocked proxy donor.
