The dispatch path retries if the local DSQ is still empty after ops.dispatch() either dispatched or consumed a task. This is both out of necessity and for convenience. It has to retry because the dispatch path might lose the tasks to dequeue while the rq lock is released while trying to migrate tasks across CPUs, and the retry mechanism makes ops.dispatch() implementation easier as it only needs to make some forward progress each iteration. However, this makes it possible for ops.dispatch() to stall CPUs by repeatedly dispatching ineligible tasks. If all CPUs are stalled that way, the watchdog or sysrq handler can't run and the system can't be saved. Let's address the issue by breaking out of the dispatch loop after 32 iterations. It is unlikely but not impossible for ops.dispatch() to legitimately go over the iteration limit. We want to come back to the dispatch path in such cases as not doing so risks stalling the CPU by idling with runnable tasks pending. As the previous task is still current in balance_scx(), resched_curr() doesn't do anything - it will just get cleared. Let's instead use scx_kick_bpf() which will trigger reschedule after switching to the next task which will likely be the idle task.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
