scx_ops_bypass() iterates all CPUs to re-enqueue all the scx tasks.
For each CPU, it acquires a lock using rq_lock() regardless of whether
a CPU is offline or the CPU is currently running a task in a higher
scheduler class (e.g., deadline). The rq_lock() is supposed to be used
for online CPUs, and the use of rq_lock() may trigger an unnecessary
warning in rq_pin_lock(). Therefore, replace rq_lock() to
raw_spin_rq_lock() in scx_ops_bypass().
Without this change, we observe the following warning:
===== START =====

Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
- Improve the default select_cpu() implementation making it topology
aware and handle WAKE_SYNC better.
- set_arg_maybe_null() was used to inform the verifier which ops args
could be NULL in a rather hackish way. Use the new __nullable CFI
stub tags instead.
- On Sapphire Rapids multi-socket systems, a BPF scheduler, by
hammering on the same queue across sockets, could live-lock the
system to the point where the system couldn't make reasonable forward
progress.
This could lead to soft-lockup triggered resets or stalling out
bypass mode switch and thus BPF scheduler ejection for tens of
minutes if not hours. After trying a number of mitigations, the
following set worked reliably:
- Injecting artificial cpu_relax() loops in two places while
sched_ext is trying to turn on the bypass mode.
- Triggering scheduler ejection when soft-lockup detection is
imminent (a quarter of threshold left).
While not the prettiest, the impact both in terms of code complexity
and overhead is minimal.
- A common complaint on the API is the overuse of the word "dispatch"
and the confusion around "consume". This is due to how the dispatch
queues became more generic over time. Rename the affected kfuncs for
clarity. Thanks to BPF's compatibility features, this change can be
made in a way that's both forward and backward compatible. The
compatibility code will be dropped in a few releases.

verb "dispatch" and confusion around "consume":
- ops.dispatch()
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]()
- scx_bpf_consume()
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*()
This overloading of the term is historical. Originally, there were only
built-in DSQs and moving a task into a DSQ always dispatched it for
execution. Using the verb "dispatch" for the kfuncs to move tasks into these
DSQs made sense.
Later, user DSQs were added and scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() updated to be
able to insert tasks into any DSQ. The only allowed DSQ to DSQ transfer was
from a non-local DSQ to a local DSQ and this operation was named "consume".
This was already confusing as a task could be dispatched to a user DSQ from
ops.enqueue() and then the DSQ would have to be consumed in ops.dispatch().
Later addition of scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq*() made the confusion even worse
as "dispatch" in this context meant moving a task to an arbitrary DSQ from a
user DSQ.
Clean up the API with the following renames:
1. scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() -> scx_bpf_dsq_insert[_vtime]()
2. scx_bpf_consume() -> scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local()
3. scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*() -> scx_bpf_dsq_move[_vtime]*()
This patch performs the third set of renames. Compatibility is maintained

- The previous kfunc names are still provided by the kernel so that old

- compat.bpf.h provides wrappers for the new names which automatically fall
back to the old names when running on older kernels. They also trigger
build error if old names are used for new builds.
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*() were already wrapped in __COMPAT
macros as they were introduced during v6.12 cycle. Wrap new API in
__COMPAT macros too and trigger build errors on both __COMPAT prefixed and

sched_ext dispatches tasks from the BPF scheduler from balance_scx() and
thus every pick_task_scx() call must be preceded by balance_scx(). While
this usually holds, due to a bug, there are cases where the fair class's
balance() returns true indicating that it has tasks to run on the CPU and
thus terminating balance() calls but fails to actually find the next task to
run when pick_task() is called. In such cases, pick_task_scx() can be called
without preceding balance_scx().
Detect this condition using SCX_RQ_BAL_PENDING flags. If detected, keep
running the previous task if possible and avoid stalling from entering idle
without balancing.

On 2 x Intel Sapphire Rapids machines with 224 logical CPUs, a poorly
behaving BPF scheduler can live-lock the system by making multiple CPUs bang
on the same DSQ to the point where soft-lockup detection triggers before
SCX's own watchdog can take action. It also seems possible that the machine
can be live-locked enough to prevent scx_ops_helper, which is an RT task,
from running in a timely manner.
Implement scx_softlockup() which is called when three quarters of
soft-lockup threshold has passed. The function immediately enables the ops
breather and triggers an ops error to initiate ejection of the BPF
scheduler.
The previous and this patch combined enable the kernel to reliably recover

A poorly behaving BPF scheduler can live-lock the system by e.g. incessantly
banging on the same DSQ on a large NUMA system to the point where switching
to the bypass mode can take a long time. Turning on the bypass mode requires
dequeueing and re-enqueueing currently runnable tasks, if the DSQs that they
are on are live-locked, this can take tens of seconds cascading into other
failures. This was observed on 2 x Intel Sapphire Rapids machines with 224

When the LLC and NUMA domains fully overlap, enabling both optimizations

Likewise, if all online CPUs are within a single LLC domain, LLC
optimization is unnecessary.
Therefore, detect overlapping domains and enable topology optimizations
only when necessary.
Moreover, rely on the online CPUs for this detection logic, instead of

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- Plug a race between pick_next_task_fair() and try_to_wake_up() where
both try to write to the same task, even though both paths hold a
runqueue lock, but obviously from different runqueues.
The problem is that the store to task::on_rq in __block_task() is
visible to try_to_wake_up() which assumes that the task is not
queued. Both sides then operate on the same task.
Cure it by rearranging __block_task() so the the store to task::on_rq
is the last operation on the task.
- Prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference in task_numa_work()
task_numa_work() iterates the VMAs of a process. A concurrent unmap
of the address space can result in a NULL pointer return from
vma_next() which is unchecked.
Add the missing NULL pointer check to prevent this.
- Operate on the correct scheduler policy in task_should_scx()
task_should_scx() returns true when a task should be handled by sched
EXT. It checks the tasks scheduling policy.
This fails when the check is done before a policy has been set.
Cure it by handing the policy into task_should_scx() so it operates
on the requested value.
- Add the missing handling of sched EXT in the delayed dequeue
mechanism. This was simply forgotten.

Similarly to commit dfa4ed29b1 ("sched_ext: Introduce LLC awareness to
the default idle selection policy"), extend the built-in idle CPU
selection policy to also prioritize CPUs within the same NUMA node.
With this change applied, the built-in CPU idle selection policy follows
this logic:
- always prioritize CPUs from fully idle SMT cores,
- select the same CPU if possible,
- select a CPU within the same LLC domain,
- select a CPU within the same NUMA node.
Both NUMA and LLC awareness features are enabled only when the system
has multiple NUMA nodes or multiple LLC domains.
In the future, we may want to improve the NUMA node selection to account
the node distance from prev_cpu. Currently, the logic only tries to keep
tasks running on the same NUMA node. If all CPUs within a node are busy,
the next NUMA node is chosen randomly.

Rely on the scheduler topology information to implement basic LLC
awareness in the sched_ext build-in idle selection policy.
This allows schedulers using the built-in policy to make more informed
decisions when selecting an idle CPU in systems with multiple LLCs, such
as NUMA systems or chiplet-based architectures, and it helps keep tasks
within the same LLC domain, thereby improving cache locality.
For efficiency, LLC awareness is applied only to tasks that can run on
all the CPUs in the system for now. If a task's affinity is modified

tasks do not have the option to select a different CPU.

In the sched_ext built-in idle CPU selection logic, when handling a
WF_SYNC wakeup, we always attempt to migrate the task to the waker's
CPU, as the waker is expected to yield the CPU after waking the task.
However, it may be preferable to keep the task on its previous CPU if
the waker's CPU is cache-affine.
The same approach is also used by the fair class and in other scx
schedulers, like scx_rusty and scx_bpfland.
Therefore, apply the same logic to the built-in idle CPU selection
policy as well.

As described in commit b07996c7ab ("sched_ext: Don't hold
scx_tasks_lock for too long"), we're doing a cond_resched() every 32
calls to scx_task_iter_next() to avoid RCU and other stalls. That commit
also added a cpu_relax() to the codepath where we drop and reacquire the
lock, but as Waiman described in [0], cpu_relax() should only be
necessary in busy loops to avoid pounding on a cacheline (or to allow a
hypertwin to more fully utilize a core).
Let's remove the unnecessary cpu_relax().

Commit 2e0199df25 ("sched/fair: Prepare exit/cleanup paths for delayed_dequeue")
and its follow up fixes try to deal with a rather unfortunate
situation where is task is enqueued in a new class, even though it
shouldn't have been. Mostly because the existing ->switched_to/from()
hooks are in the wrong place for this case.
This all led to Paul being able to trigger failures at something like
once per 10k CPU hours of RCU torture.
For now, do the ugly thing and move the code to the right place by
ignoring the switch hooks.
Note: Clean up the whole sched_class::switch*_{to,from}() thing.

Iterating with scx_task_iter involves scx_tasks_lock and optionally the rq
lock of the task being iterated. Both locks can be released during iteration
and the iteration can be continued after re-grabbing scx_tasks_lock.
Currently, all lock handling is pushed to the caller which is a bit
cumbersome and makes it difficult to add lock-aware behaviors. Make the
scx_task_iter helpers handle scx_tasks_lock.
- scx_task_iter_init/scx_taks_iter_exit() now grabs and releases
scx_task_lock, respectively. Renamed to
scx_task_iter_start/scx_task_iter_stop() to more clearly indicate that
there are non-trivial side-effects.
- Add __ prefix to scx_task_iter_rq_unlock() to indicate that the function
is internal.
- Add scx_task_iter_unlock/relock(). The former drops both rq lock (if held)
and scx_tasks_lock and the latter re-locks only scx_tasks_lock.
This doesn't cause behavior changes and will be used to implement stall
avoidance.
