This depends on the arena argument support in the BPF tree and should be
pulled after the scheduler core and BPF pulls. The patches based on bpf-next
were kept on a separate branch which was merged into for-7.3 just now. The
same merged result was in linux-next for several days.
Most of this cycle completes the enqueue-path support for hierarchical
sub-scheduling, which makes sub-scheduler support feature complete: a root
BPF scheduler can now hand a cgroup subtree over to a nested sub-scheduler
together with revocable CPU grants, and the sub-scheduler owns all
scheduling decisions for its tasks on those CPUs.
Development volume was high and a number of changes plugging holes in the
new support landed late in the cycle. Also included are core scheduling
fixes that were completed too late for the v7.2 release and are routed
through this pull request.
- Sub-scheduler CPU delegation:
- Parent schedulers now grant and revoke per-CPU capabilities (enqueueing,
preemption, CPU frequency control) on their children, enforced on every
path a scheduler can reach a CPU through. Previously only dispatching
could be delegated; this lets sub-schedulers fully schedule their CPUs.
- Rescue execution: a task whose scheduler doesn't have access to the CPUs
the task needs to run on starved until the watchdog ejected the whole
scheduler. The kernel now runs such tasks directly on a small bandwidth
budget, turning a scheduler-killing failure into bounded degradation.
- Cgroup integration: tasks migrating across a sub-scheduler boundary
weren't re-homed to the new owner, causing wrong-scheduler scheduling
and a use-after-free. Sub-schedulers now take over their cgroup subtree
and receive its cgroup callbacks.
- Arena objects now cross the kernel/BPF boundary as typed pointer
arguments, translated transparently by the BPF tree's new arena argument
support, replacing untyped arguments with manual translation.
- scx_qmap now demonstrates full hierarchical sub-scheduling.
- Robustness improvements: the abort path is now NMI-safe, fixing deadlocks
when errors are raised from NMI context and making hardlockup recovery
direct. Reenqueue loops that could monopolize a CPU ahead of the watchdog
now eject the offending scheduler, and stalls are blamed on the scheduler
actually responsible.
- Hardening: BPF-writable arena memory is validated before kernel use, and
task slice and vtime writes got explicit synchronization rules, closing
corruption vectors open to buggy or malicious schedulers.
- Core scheduling: sched_ext dispatching can drop the rq lock inside the
core-wide pick, which let interleaving selections corrupt each other's
state and hard-hang the machine. The selection now restarts when the lock
was released. The task ordering callback was also invoked with its
arguments swapped, and the default ordering is updated to work across
sub-scheduler boundaries. The fixes are marked for stable.
- Other fixes headed for stable: a task init leak on fork failure during
enable, tooling compat macros that silently failed to detect newer
kernels, and a crash on reenqueueing against a destroyed dispatch queue.
- Tooling: scx_pair moves off deprecated callbacks, and the deprecated
scx_bpf_cpu_rq() kfunc is removed.
