From af701b8d3238b9eb7cd450b0491300452c700bf5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kuba Piecuch Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 14:23:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Call ops.dequeue() when a task arrives on a remote local DSQ When a task in the BPF scheduler's custody is moved to another CPU's local DSQ, ops.dequeue() is only called once the task is picked for execution, from set_next_task_scx() with SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC, even though no core-sched pick took place. It should instead be called without flags when the task is inserted into the destination DSQ, as it is for same-rq dispatches. move_remote_task_to_local_dsq() sets p->scx.sticky_cpu across the migration so that deactivate_task() on the source rq doesn't end custody. Since commit b75aaea24c9f ("sched_ext: Properly mark SCX-internal migrations via sticky_cpu"), enqueue_task_scx() only clears it after inserting the task, so task_leave_custody() still sees the migration in progress and skips the custody exit. Clear p->scx.sticky_cpu as soon as enqueue_task_scx() has read it, as was done before that commit. The source side is unaffected.
