[PATCH 18/39] sched_ext: Allow BPF schedulers to disallow specific tasks from joining SCHED_EXT

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



BPF schedulers might not want to schedule certain tasks - e.g. kernel
threads. This patch adds p->scx.disallow which can be set by BPF schedulers
in such cases. The field can be changed anytime and setting it in
ops.prep_enable() guarantees that the task can never be scheduled by
sched_ext.

scx_qmap is updated with the -d option to disallow a specific PID:

  # echo $$
  1092
  # grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
  policy                                       :                    0
  ext.enabled                                  :                    0
  # ./set-scx 1092
  # grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
  policy                                       :                    7
  ext.enabled                                  :                    0

Run "scx_qmap -d 1092" in another terminal.

  # cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/nr_rejected
  1
  # grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
  policy                                       :                    0
  ext.enabled                                  :                    1
  # ./set-scx 1092
  setparam failed for 1092 (Permission denied)

- v3: Update description to reflect /sys/kernel/sched_ext interface change.

- v2: Use atomic_long_t instead of atomic64_t for scx_kick_cpus_pnt_seqs to
      accommodate 32bit archs.
