Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/16] sched/core: Break activation of blocked task into a separate helper
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 06:28:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826062901.2137-2-kprateek.nayak@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826062901.2137-1-kprateek.nayak@amd.com>
Add activate_blocked_task() helper to activate a blocked task
(Blocked task is !p->on_rq || p->se.sched_delayed).
This is preparatory patch to clean up the task_on_rq_migrating() usage
in on the enqueue path in the sched_class callbacks to make way for
proxy activation on the enqueue path.
No functional changes intended.
