Subject: sched_ext: Add scx_dump_lock and dump_disabled
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b5bc043505fed4198158037938ead78557eb79ab;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

sched_ext: Add scx_dump_lock and dump_disabled

Add a dedicated scx_dump_lock and per-sched dump_disabled flag so that
debug dumping can be safely disabled during sched teardown without
relying on scx_sched_lock. This is a prep for the next patch which
decouples the sysrq dump path from scx_sched_lock to resolve a lock
ordering issue.
