Subject: [PATCH 02/16] sched/core: Dequeue waking proxy donors before reset
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 18:51:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922165445.943315-3-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922165445.943315-1-arighi@nvidia.com>
proxy_needs_return() resets an active donor while holding blocked_lock.
proxy_reset_donor() invokes scheduling-class callbacks, adding an
unnecessary raw-spinlock nesting.
For an EXT donor, resetting rq->donor first calls put_prev_task_scx()
while SCX_TASK_QUEUED and is_blocked are still set. That path reenqueues
the retained donor through scx_do_enqueue_task(), only for the following
block_task() to dequeue it again.
Split block_task() so the waking donor is first dequeued from its
scheduling class while it is still rq->donor. This lets
dequeue_task_scx() end the donor's running session and clear
SCX_TASK_QUEUED before proxy_reset_donor() invokes put_prev_task_scx().
Keep the generic on_rq state set until donor references are replaced,
then complete the runqueue removal.
This follows the normal sleep ordering, avoids transiently re-enqueuing
the waking donor, and moves the scheduling-class callbacks outside
blocked_lock.
This is a preparatory change to support proxy execution with sched_ext.
