Tejun Heo 09a75f3712 sched_ext: Keep bypass on between enable failure and scx_disable_workfn() 
[ Upstream commit 4a1d9d73aa ]

scx_enable() turns on the bypass mode while enable is in progress. If
enabling fails, it turns off the bypass mode and then triggers scx_error().
scx_error() will trigger scx_disable_workfn() which will turn on the bypass
mode again and unload the failed scheduler.

This moves the system out of bypass mode between the enable error path and
the disable path, which is unnecessary and can be brittle - e.g. the thread
running scx_enable() may already be on the failed scheduler and can be
switched out before it triggers scx_error() leading to a stall. The watchdog
would eventually kick in, so the situation isn't critical but is still
suboptimal.

There is nothing to be gained by turning off the bypass mode between
scx_enable() failure and scx_disable_workfn(). Keep bypass on.

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.
