Subject: [PATCH 04/17] sched/core: Avoid false migration warning for proxy donors
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 19:35:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260816173732.17162-5-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260816173732.17162-1-arighi@nvidia.com>
Proxy execution can move a blocked donor's scheduling context to the
lock owner's CPU even when the donor is migration-disabled. The donor
does not execute there, and its original execution CPU remains recorded
in wake_cpu.
set_task_cpu() warns unconditionally for migration-disabled tasks, so a
subsequent proxy migration or the wakeup path returning the donor home
triggers a false positive. Moving a blocked scheduling context does not
violate the migration-disabled execution context.
Exclude blocked proxy donors from the warning. The proxy wakeup path
restores an executable placement before clearing the blocked state.
This is a preparatory fix for enabling proxy execution together with
sched_ext.
