Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sched_ext: Specialize the scheduler hashtable compare
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:59:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921185943.4031480-3-usama.arif@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921185943.4031480-1-usama.arif@linux.dev>
scx_sched_hash_params does not provide an object comparison function,
so rhashtable falls back to rhashtable_compare(). Although the
sub-cgroup ID key is one naturally aligned u64, the generic comparison
reads the key offset and length from the table parameters at runtime and
emits an out-of-line memcmp() for each element walked.
Supply an obj_cmpfn so lookups specialize to a single equality test
against ops.sub_cgroup_id. ext.c and sub.c are included in the same
build_policy.c translation unit, so the compiler can fold the const
callback into scx_find_sub_sched() even though its source is in sub.c.
The result is only tested against zero, so the ordering provided by
memcmp() is not observable. No functional change intended.
