Subject: sched_ext: Record an error on errno-only sub-enable failure
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=db4e9defd2e8620abee04cfe5809c0bcd6ecf06a;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

sched_ext: Record an error on errno-only sub-enable failure

scx_sub_enable_workfn() has several failure paths that only return an errno
(e.g. -ENOMEM from an allocation) and jump to err_disable without calling
scx_error(). scx_flush_disable_work() runs the disable, and thus ops.exit(),
only when an error has been recorded, so an errno-only failure leaves the
half-initialized sub-scheduler linked.

Record an error at the err_disable sink so every errno-only failure runs the
disable path.
