[PATCH 20/31] sched_ext: Allow BPF schedulers to switch all eligible tasks into sched_ext

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

 



Currently, to use sched_ext, each task has to be put into sched_ext using
sched_setscheduler(2). However, some BPF schedulers and use cases might
prefer to service all eligible tasks.

This patch adds a new kfunc helper, scx_bpf_switch_all(), that BPF
schedulers can call from ops.init() to switch all SCHED_NORMAL, SCHED_BATCH
and SCHED_IDLE tasks into sched_ext. This has the benefit that the scheduler
swaps are transparent to the users and applications. As we know that CFS is
not being used when scx_bpf_switch_all() is used, we can also disable hot
path entry points with static_branches.

Both the dummy and qmap example schedulers are updated with the '-a' option
which enables the switch_all behavior.
