Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] sched_ext: Add scx_bpf_dsq_reenq_task() to re-enqueue single tasks from a DSQ iteration
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 13:35:08 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017233508.1276329-1-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261017223738.993262-3-tj@kernel.org>

scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() re-enqueues a whole DSQ, but a scheduler that loses the
cpus serving a DSQ, such as a sub-scheduler after a cap revoke, needs only
the stranded tasks placed again.

Add scx_bpf_dsq_reenq_task(), which marks a task from a DSQ iteration. When
the iteration ends, the DSQ's deferred re-enqueue walk is scheduled once and
re-enqueues only the marked tasks. The kfunc locks the task's rq and the DSQ
like scx_bpf_dsq_move() and is callable from the same contexts. The mark is
cleared when the task leaves the DSQ, so a task consumed before the walk is
not re-enqueued.

An iteration's DSQ can be destroyed before the iteration ends, so
schedule_dsq_reenq() now skips a destroyed DSQ instead of aborting the
scheduler. scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() racing scx_bpf_destroy_dsq() takes the same
path.

Declare the kfunc for the tools and add a compat probe.

v2: Note in the kerneldoc that another iteration's re-enqueue may take a
marked task early, and that a task on another scheduler returns false
(Andrea).
