Subject: tools/sched_ext: scx_pair: fix pair_ctx indexing for CPU pairs
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f546c77038ab898726e7344255217fbec382b97f;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

tools/sched_ext: scx_pair: fix pair_ctx indexing for CPU pairs

scx_pair sizes pair_ctx to nr_cpu_ids / 2, so valid pair_ctx keys are
dense pair indexes in the range [0, nr_cpu_ids / 2).

However, the userspace setup code stores pair_id as the first CPU number
in each pair. On an 8-CPU system with "-S 1", that produces pair IDs
0, 2, 4 and 6 for pairs [0,1], [2,3], [4,5] and [6,7]. CPUs in the
latter half then look up pair_ctx with out-of-range keys and the BPF
scheduler aborts with:

EXIT: scx_bpf_error (scx_pair.bpf.c:328: failed to lookup pairc and
in_pair_mask for cpu[5])

Assign pair_id using a dense pair counter instead so that each CPU pair
maps to a valid pair_ctx entry. Besides, reject odd CPU configuration, as
scx_pair requires all CPUs to be paired.
