Subject: [PATCH 4/9] tools/sched_ext: scx_pair: Don't attach after an interrupted initialization
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 20:49:56 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110125001.4167503-5-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110125001.4167503-1-cui.tao@linux.dev>
From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
The cgrp_q_arr initialization loop checks exit_req and breaks early so
that Ctrl-C doesn't make the user wait through all MAX_CGRPS iterations
- but the break falls straight into SCX_OPS_ATTACH(). Attaching with
part of the inner queue maps missing lets ops.cgroup_init() hand out
slots for cgroups whose inner map was never created, and the first task
in such a cgroup aborts the scheduler with an scx_bpf_error(). On a busy
system the 4096-iteration loop takes long enough that hitting it with
Ctrl-C is likely, so the intended responsive interrupt turns into a
scheduler crash dump.
Exit cleanly when interrupted mid-initialization instead of attaching.
Fixes: f0262b102c7c ("tools/sched_ext: add scx_pair scheduler")
