Subject: [PATCH v3] sched_ext: idle: Respect task affinity in restricted CPU selection
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 02:31:00 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261011173100.2090211-1-sh_def@163.com> (raw)
The restricted select_cpu kfunc path handles single-CPU and
migration-disabled tasks without going through scx_select_cpu_dfl().
It currently uses prev_cpu as the candidate, even though prev_cpu is only a
hint and may no longer be usable after an affinity change. With a
caller-provided @allowed mask, this can also return an idle CPU outside
p->cpus_ptr.
Derive the candidate from task state instead: use the sole CPU in
p->cpus_ptr for single-CPU tasks and task_cpu(p) for migration-disabled
tasks. Validate it against p->cpus_ptr and @allowed before claiming its
idle state.
Since the derived candidate may be on a different NUMA node from
prev_cpu, also preserve SCX_PICK_IDLE_IN_NODE by rejecting cross-node
candidates.
Perform all checks before scx_idle_test_and_clear_cpu(), as a successful
call consumes the CPU's idle bit.

Tested on x86_64 KVM/QEMU:
- Private BPF harness passed affinity, stale-prev_cpu, caller-mask, and
cross-NUMA SCX_PICK_IDLE_IN_NODE cases; v2 returned CPU2 across nodes,
while v3 returned -EBUSY.
- Build coverage passed with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y/n and CONFIG_SMP=n.
Changes in v3:
- Factor restricted selection into select_cpu_restricted().
- Preserve SCX_PICK_IDLE_IN_NODE and add cross-NUMA validation.
