Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Fix the runtime check in preempt_sync()
Date: Fri,  6 Nov 2026 16:50:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106085001.36135-1-peng_wang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

With NEXT_BUDDY enabled, preempt_sync() only lets a WF_SYNC wakeup
force a reschedule once the current task has run long enough.  It
computes the runtime as rq_clock_task() - se->exec_start, but
wakeup_preempt_fair() has already called update_curr_fair() at that
point, which sets se->exec_start to rq_clock_task().  The result is
always 0.

Use sum_exec_runtime - prev_sum_exec_runtime instead, which is the time
the task has run since it was picked, and drop the now unused rq
argument.

Fixes: e837456fdca8 ("sched/fair: Reimplement NEXT_BUDDY to align with EEVDF goals")
