Subject: [PATCH 1/4] sched/fair: Fix cookie check on __select_idle_cpu()
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 14:39:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <64ca6d7f73625cc63fa0bc1800c9b199462a5ef3.1758543008.git.sieberf@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1758543008.git.sieberf@amazon.com>

The __select_idle_cpu() function uses sched_cpu_cookie_match() to determine
if a task can be placed on an idle CPU. This function incorrectly returns
false when the whole core is idle but the task has a cookie, preventing
proper task placement.

Replace sched_cpu_cookie_match() with sched_core_cookie_match() which
correctly handles the idle core case. Refactor select_idle_smt() to avoid
duplicate work by checking core cookie compatibility only once in the SMT
mask.

Fixes: 97886d9dcd868 ("sched: Migration changes for core scheduling")
