Subject: [PATCH] selftests/sched_ext: Fix flaky ddsp failure tests on busy systems
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:13:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260811141358.2767765-1-michalblk@google.com> (raw)

The ddsp_vtimelocal_fail and ddsp_bogus_dsq_fail tests skip calling
scx_bpf_dsq_insert_vtime() if scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu() fails to find
an idle CPU (returns -1). On loaded systems, this results in the tests
skipping the very assertions they are meant to verify.

Eliminate this flakiness by falling back to prev_cpu if no idle CPU is
found, ensuring the illegal dispatch operations are unconditionally
attempted and tested.

Fixes: a5db7817af78 ("sched_ext: Add selftests")
