From 67fa319f5fff523a17993eafe990ad11aa5d6be9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Righi Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2025 16:10:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Allow forcibly picking an scx task Refactor pick_task_scx() adding a new argument to forcibly pick a SCHED_EXT task, ignoring any higher-priority sched class activity. This refactoring prepares the code for future scenarios, e.g., allowing the ext dl_server to force a SCHED_EXT task selection. No functional changes.
