From: David Vernet <dvernet@xxxxxxxx>
Scheduler classes are strictly ordered and when a higher priority class has
tasks to run, the lower priority ones lose access to the CPU. Being able to
monitor and act on these events are necessary for use cases includling
strict core-scheduling and latency management.
This patch adds two operations ops.cpu_acquire() and .cpu_release(). The
former is invoked when a CPU becomes available to the BPF scheduler and the
opposite for the latter. This patch also implements
scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() which can be called from .cpu_release() to trigger
requeueing of all tasks in the local dsq of the CPU so that the tasks can be
reassigned to other available CPUs.
scx_example_pair is updated to use .cpu_acquire/release() along with
%SCX_KICK_WAIT to make the pair scheduling guarantee strict even when a CPU
is preempted by a higher priority scheduler class.
scx_example_qmap is updated to use .cpu_acquire/release() to empty the local
dsq of a preempted CPU. A similar approach can be adopted by BPF schedulers
that want to have a tight control over latency.
v3: * Drop the const qualifier from scx_cpu_release_args.task. BPF enforces
access control through the verifier, so the qualifier isn't actually
operative and only gets in the way when interacting with various
helpers.
v2: * Add p->scx.kf_mask annotation to allow calling
scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() from ops.cpu_release() nested inside
ops.init() and other sleepable operations.

+ * SCX is the lowest priority sched_class, and could be preempted by them at

+ * the scheduler loses and gains control of the CPU respectively.

+ *
+ * This preempts the pair CPU, and waits until it has re-entered the scheduler
+ * before returning. This is necessary to ensure that the higher priority
+ * sched_class that preempted our scheduler does not schedule a task
+ * concurrently with our pair CPU.
+ *
+ * When the CPU is re-acquired in pair_cpu_acquire(), we unmark the preemption
+ * in the pair_ctx, and send another resched IPI to the pair CPU to re-enable
+ * pair scheduling.
