Subject: [PATCH 4/5] sched_ext: Add scx_bpf_task_numa_nid()
Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2026 09:27:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261004072901.3579967-5-arighi@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261004072901.3579967-1-arighi@nvidia.com>
With the hinting-fault scan running for tasks under a BPF scheduler,
p->numa_preferred_nid is maintained for them. Give schedulers a way to
read it.
scx_bpf_task_numa_nid() returns the node a task's memory accesses are
concentrated on, or NUMA_NO_NODE when the task has no preference. A BPF
scheduler can use it to keep a task near its memory when placing or
balancing it.
