10 dayscgroup/cpuset: Reserve DL bandwidth only for root-domain movesGuopeng Zhang1-0/+9
cpuset_can_attach() currently adds the bandwidth of all migrating SCHED_DEADLINE tasks to sum_migrate_dl_bw. If the source and destination cpuset effective CPU masks do not overlap, the whole sum is then reserved in the destination root domain. set_cpus_allowed_dl(), however, subtracts bandwidth from the source root domain only when the affinity change really moves the task between root domains. A DL task can move between cpusets that are still in the same root domain, so including that task in sum_migrate_dl_bw can reserve destination bandwidth without a matching source-side subtraction. Share the root-domain move test with set_cpus_allowed_dl(). Keep nr_migrate_dl_tasks counting all migrating deadline tasks for cpuset DL task accounting, but add to sum_migrate_dl_bw only for tasks that need a root-domain bandwidth move. Keep using the destination cpuset effective CPU mask and leave the broader can_attach()/attach() transaction model unchanged.

11 dayssched_ext: Close root-enable vs sched_ext_dead() race with SCX_TASK_INIT_BEGINTejun Heo1-4/+6
scx_root_enable_workfn() drops the iter rq lock for ops.init_task() and a TASK_DEAD @p can fall through sched_ext_dead() in that window. The race hits when sched_ext_dead() observes SCX_TASK_INIT (the intermediate state before @p->scx.sched is published) and dereferences NULL via SCX_HAS_OP(NULL, exit_task), or observes SCX_TASK_NONE during the unlocked init window and skips cleanup so exit_task() never runs. Add SCX_TASK_INIT_BEGIN. The enable path writes NONE -> INIT_BEGIN under the iter rq lock, then takes the rq lock again after init to walk INIT_BEGIN -> INIT -> READY. sched_ext_dead() that wins the rq-lock race observes INIT_BEGIN and sets DEAD without calling into ops; the post-init recheck unwinds via scx_sub_init_cancel_task(). scx_fork() runs single-threaded against sched_ext_dead() (the task is not on scx_tasks until scx_post_fork() adds it) so its INIT_BEGIN -> INIT walk needs no rq-lock pairing; it rolls back to NONE on ops.init_task() failure. The validation matrix grows the INIT_BEGIN row and the INIT_BEGIN -> DEAD edge; INIT now requires INIT_BEGIN as the predecessor. scx_sub_disable()'s migration writes INIT_BEGIN as a synthetic predecessor to satisfy the tightened verification. The sub-sched paths still race with sched_ext_dead() during the unlocked init window. This will be fixed by the next patch.

11 dayssched_ext: Replace SCX_TASK_OFF_TASKS flag with SCX_TASK_DEAD stateTejun Heo1-4/+5
SCX_TASK_OFF_TASKS marked tasks already through sched_ext_dead() so cgroup task iteration would skip them. This can be expressed better with a task state. Replace the flag with SCX_TASK_DEAD. scx_disable_and_exit_task() resets state to NONE on its way out, so sched_ext_dead() now sets DEAD after the wrapper returns. The validation matrix grows NONE -> DEAD, warns on DEAD -> NONE, and tightens READY's predecessor to INIT or ENABLED so the new DEAD value cannot silently transition to READY. Prepares for the following enable vs dead race fix. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com>

Since commit 041ee6f3727a ("kthread: Rely on HK_TYPE_DOMAIN for preferred affinity management"), kthreads default to use the HK_TYPE_DOMAIN cpumask. IOW, it is no longer affected by the setting of the nohz_full boot kernel parameter. That means HK_TYPE_KTHREAD should now be an alias of HK_TYPE_DOMAIN instead of HK_TYPE_KERNEL_NOISE to correctly reflect the current kthread behavior.

2026-05-04sched_ext: Skip past-sched_ext_dead() tasks in scx_task_iter_next_locked()Tejun Heo1-0/+1
scx_task_iter's cgroup-scoped mode can return tasks whose sched_ext_dead() has already completed: cgroup_task_dead() removes from cset->tasks after sched_ext_dead() in finish_task_switch() and is irq-work deferred on PREEMPT_RT. The global mode is fine - sched_ext_dead() removes from scx_tasks via list_del_init() first. Callers (sub-sched enable prep/abort/apply, scx_sub_disable(), scx_fail_parent()) assume returned tasks are still on @sch and trip WARN_ON_ONCE() or operate on torn-down state otherwise. Set %SCX_TASK_OFF_TASKS in sched_ext_dead() under @p's rq lock and have scx_task_iter_next_locked() skip flagged tasks under the same lock. Setter and reader serialize on the per-task rq lock - no race. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Those constraints can take into account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation scripts. - Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an example of automaton working with real time variables. - Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify. - Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV.

Now that scx_kfunc_context_filter enforces context-sensitive kfunc restrictions at BPF load time, the per-task runtime enforcement via scx_kf_mask is redundant. Remove it entirely: - Delete enum scx_kf_mask, the kf_mask field on sched_ext_entity, and the scx_kf_allow()/scx_kf_disallow()/scx_kf_allowed() helpers along with the higher_bits()/highest_bit() helpers they used. - Strip the @mask parameter (and the BUILD_BUG_ON checks) from the SCX_CALL_OP[_RET]/SCX_CALL_OP_TASK[_RET]/SCX_CALL_OP_2TASKS_RET macros and update every call site. Reflow call sites that were wrapped only to fit the old 5-arg form and now collapse onto a single line under ~100 cols. - Remove the in-kfunc scx_kf_allowed() runtime checks from scx_dsq_insert_preamble(), scx_dsq_move(), scx_bpf_dispatch_nr_slots(), scx_bpf_dispatch_cancel(), scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local___v2(), scx_bpf_sub_dispatch(), scx_bpf_reenqueue_local(), and the per-call guard inside select_cpu_from_kfunc(). scx_bpf_task_cgroup() and scx_kf_allowed_on_arg_tasks() were already cleaned up in the "drop redundant rq-locked check" patch. scx_kf_allowed_if_unlocked() was rewritten in the preceding "decouple" patch.

2026-03-24sched/topology: Fix sched_domain_span()Peter Zijlstra1-6/+18
Commit 8e8e23dea43e ("sched/topology: Compute sd_weight considering cpuset partitions") ends up relying on the fact that structure initialization should not touch the flexible array. However, the official GCC specification for "Arrays of Length Zero" [*] says: Although the size of a zero-length array is zero, an array member of this kind may increase the size of the enclosing type as a result of tail padding. Additionally, structure initialization will zero tail padding. With the end result that since offsetof(*type, member) < sizeof(*type), array initialization will clobber the flex array. Luckily, the way flexible array sizes are calculated is: sizeof(*type) + count * sizeof(*type->member) This means we have the complete size of the flex array *outside* of sizeof(*type), so use that instead of relying on the broken flex array definition.

2026-03-13sched_ext: Implement SCX_ENQ_IMMEDTejun Heo1-0/+5
Add SCX_ENQ_IMMED enqueue flag for local DSQ insertions. Once a task is dispatched with IMMED, it either gets on the CPU immediately and stays on it, or gets reenqueued back to the BPF scheduler. It will never linger on a local DSQ behind other tasks or on a CPU taken by a higher-priority class. rq_is_open() uses rq->next_class to determine whether the rq is available, and wakeup_preempt_scx() triggers reenqueue when a higher-priority class task arrives. These capture all higher class preemptions. Combined with reenqueue points in the dispatch path, all cases where an IMMED task would not execute immediately are covered. SCX_TASK_IMMED persists in p->scx.flags until the next fresh enqueue, so the guarantee survives SAVE/RESTORE cycles. If preempted while running, put_prev_task_scx() reenqueues through ops.enqueue() with SCX_TASK_REENQ_PREEMPTED instead of silently placing the task back on the local DSQ. This enables tighter scheduling latency control by preventing tasks from piling up on local DSQs. It also enables opportunistic CPU sharing across sub-schedulers - without this, a sub-scheduler can stuff the local DSQ of a shared CPU, making it difficult for others to use. v2: - Rewrite is_curr_done() as rq_is_open() using rq->next_class and implement wakeup_preempt_scx() to achieve complete coverage of all cases where IMMED tasks could get stranded. - Track IMMED persistently in p->scx.flags and reenqueue preempted-while-running tasks through ops.enqueue(). - Bound deferred reenq cycles (SCX_REENQ_LOCAL_MAX_REPEAT). - Misc renames, documentation.

2026-03-11clone: add CLONE_AUTOREAPChristian Brauner1-0/+1
Add a new clone3() flag CLONE_AUTOREAP that makes a child process auto-reap on exit without ever becoming a zombie. This is a per-process property in contrast to the existing auto-reap mechanism via SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN for SIGCHLD which applies to all children of a given parent. Currently the only way to automatically reap children is to set SA_NOCLDWAIT or SIG_IGN on SIGCHLD. This is a parent-scoped property affecting all children which makes it unsuitable for libraries or applications that need selective auto-reaping of specific children while still being able to wait() on others. CLONE_AUTOREAP stores an autoreap flag in the child's signal_struct. When the child exits do_notify_parent() checks this flag and causes exit_notify() to transition the task directly to EXIT_DEAD. Since the flag lives on the child it survives reparenting: if the original parent exits and the child is reparented to a subreaper or init the child still auto-reaps when it eventually exits. CLONE_AUTOREAP can be combined with CLONE_PIDFD to allow the parent to monitor the child's exit via poll() and retrieve exit status via PIDFD_GET_INFO. Without CLONE_PIDFD it provides a fire-and-forget pattern where the parent simply doesn't care about the child's exit status. No exit signal is delivered so exit_signal must be zero. CLONE_AUTOREAP is rejected in combination with CLONE_PARENT. If a CLONE_AUTOREAP child were to clone(CLONE_PARENT) the new grandchild would inherit exit_signal == 0 from the autoreap parent's group leader but without signal->autoreap. This grandchild would become a zombie that never sends a signal and is never autoreaped - confusing and arguably broken behavior. The flag is not inherited by the autoreap process's own children. Each child that should be autoreaped must be explicitly created with CLONE_AUTOREAP.

2026-03-06sched_ext: Implement cgroup sub-sched enabling and disablingTejun Heo1-0/+1
The preceding changes implemented the framework to support cgroup sub-scheds and updated scheduling paths and kfuncs so that they have minimal but working support for sub-scheds. However, actual sub-sched enabling/disabling hasn't been implemented yet and all tasks stayed on scx_root. Implement cgroup sub-sched enabling and disabling to actually activate sub-scheds: - Both enable and disable operations bypass only the tasks in the subtree of the child being enabled or disabled to limit disruptions. - When enabling, all candidate tasks are first initialized for the child sched. Once that succeeds, the tasks are exited for the parent and then switched over to the child. This adds a bit of complication but guarantees that child scheduler failures are always contained. - Disabling works the same way in the other direction. However, when the parent may fail to initialize a task, disabling is propagated up to the parent. While this means that a parent sched fail due to a child sched event, the failure can only originate from the parent itself (its ops.init_task()). The only effect a malfunctioning child can have on the parent is attempting to move the tasks back to the parent. After this change, although not all the necessary mechanisms are in place yet, sub-scheds can take control of their tasks and schedule them. v2: Fix missing scx_cgroup_unlock()/percpu_up_write() in abort path (Cheng-Yang Chou).

2026-03-06sched_ext: Introduce cgroup sub-sched supportTejun Heo1-0/+3
A system often runs multiple workloads especially in multi-tenant server environments where a system is split into partitions servicing separate more-or-less independent workloads each requiring an application-specific scheduler. To support such and other use cases, sched_ext is in the process of growing multiple scheduler support. When partitioning a system in terms of CPUs for such use cases, an oft-taken approach is hard partitioning the system using cpuset. While it would be possible to tie sched_ext multiple scheduler support to cpuset partitions, such an approach would have fundamental limitations stemming from the lack of dynamism and flexibility. Users often don't care which specific CPUs are assigned to which workload and want to take advantage of optimizations which are enabled by running workloads on a larger machine - e.g. opportunistic over-commit, improving latency critical workload characteristics while maintaining bandwidth fairness, employing control mechanisms based on different criteria than on-CPU time for e.g. flexible memory bandwidth isolation, packing similar parts from different workloads on same L3s to improve cache efficiency, and so on. As this sort of dynamic behaviors are impossible or difficult to implement with hard partitioning, sched_ext is implementing cgroup sub-sched support where schedulers can be attached to the cgroup hierarchy and a parent scheduler is responsible for controlling the CPUs that each child can use at any given moment. This makes CPU distribution dynamically controlled by BPF allowing high flexibility. This patch adds the skeletal sched_ext cgroup sub-sched support: - sched_ext_ops.sub_cgroup_id and .sub_attach/detach() are added. Non-zero sub_cgroup_id indicates that the scheduler is to be attached to the identified cgroup. A sub-sched is attached to the cgroup iff the nearest ancestor scheduler implements .sub_attach() and grants the attachment. Max nesting depth is limited by SCX_SUB_MAX_DEPTH. - When a scheduler exits, all its descendant schedulers are exited together. Also, cgroup.scx_sched added which points to the effective scheduler instance for the cgroup. This is updated on scheduler init/exit and inherited on cgroup online. When a cgroup is offlined, the attached scheduler is automatically exited. - Sub-sched support is gated on CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED which is automatically enabled if both SCX and cgroups are enabled. Sub-sched support is not tied to the CPU controller but rather the cgroup hierarchy itself. This is intentional as the support for cpu.weight and cpu.max based resource control is orthogonal to sub-sched support. Note that CONFIG_CGROUPS around cgroup subtree iteration support for scx_task_iter is replaced with CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED for consistency. - This allows loading sub-scheds and most framework operations such as propagating disable down the hierarchy work. However, sub-scheds are not operational yet and all tasks stay with the root sched. This will serve as the basis for building up full sub-sched support. - DSQs point to the scx_sched they belong to. - scx_qmap is updated to allow attachment of sub-scheds and also serving as sub-scheds. - scx_is_descendant() is added but not yet used in this patch. It is used by later changes in the series and placed here as this is where the function belongs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com>

2026-02-23sched_ext: Fix ops.dequeue() semanticsAndrea Righi1-0/+1
Currently, ops.dequeue() is only invoked when the sched_ext core knows that a task resides in BPF-managed data structures, which causes it to miss scheduling property change events. In addition, ops.dequeue() callbacks are completely skipped when tasks are dispatched to non-local DSQs from ops.select_cpu(). As a result, BPF schedulers cannot reliably track task state. Fix this by guaranteeing that each task entering the BPF scheduler's custody triggers exactly one ops.dequeue() call when it leaves that custody, whether the exit is due to a dispatch (regular or via a core scheduling pick) or to a scheduling property change (e.g. sched_setaffinity(), sched_setscheduler(), set_user_nice(), NUMA balancing, etc.). BPF scheduler custody concept: a task is considered to be in the BPF scheduler's custody when the scheduler is responsible for managing its lifecycle. This includes tasks dispatched to user-created DSQs or stored in the BPF scheduler's internal data structures from ops.enqueue(). Custody ends when the task is dispatched to a terminal DSQ (such as the local DSQ or %SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL), selected by core scheduling, or removed due to a property change. Tasks directly dispatched to terminal DSQs bypass the BPF scheduler entirely and are never in its custody. Terminal DSQs include: - Local DSQs (%SCX_DSQ_LOCAL or %SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON): per-CPU queues where tasks go directly to execution. - Global DSQ (%SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL): the built-in fallback queue where the BPF scheduler is considered "done" with the task. As a result, ops.dequeue() is not invoked for tasks directly dispatched to terminal DSQs. To identify dequeues triggered by scheduling property changes, introduce the new ops.dequeue() flag %SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE: when this flag is set, the dequeue was caused by a scheduling property change. New ops.dequeue() semantics: - ops.dequeue() is invoked exactly once when the task leaves the BPF scheduler's custody, in one of the following cases: a) regular dispatch: a task dispatched to a user DSQ or stored in internal BPF data structures is moved to a terminal DSQ (ops.dequeue() called without any special flags set), b) core scheduling dispatch: core-sched picks task before dispatch (ops.dequeue() called with %SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC flag set), c) property change: task properties modified before dispatch, (ops.dequeue() called with %SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE flag set). This allows BPF schedulers to: - reliably track task ownership and lifecycle, - maintain accurate accounting of managed tasks, - update internal state when tasks change properties.
