Subject: sched_ext: Don't enable non-ext tasks in the sub-sched task loops
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5cdc928598095b2c7d5f265e5f21eadd1634bfbe;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

sched_ext: Don't enable non-ext tasks in the sub-sched task loops

Root enable and scx_post_fork() enable a task only if it's on the ext class.
Tasks on other classes, possible under an SCX_OPS_SWITCH_PARTIAL root, are
left READY and enabled by switching_to_scx() when they switch over. The sub
enable-commit pass and the sub-disable re-home loop enable unconditionally,
so a fair-class READY task in the subtree becomes ENABLED while not on
sched_ext. A later switch to SCHED_EXT then trips the task state validation
WARN (ENABLED with the previous state not READY) and calls ops.enable() a
second time.

Gate scx_enable_task() on the task's class in both loops.
