From: Tao Cui scx_cgroup_init_args carries the initial weight and bandwidth control parameters of a cgroup to ops.cgroup_init(), but not its cpu.idle state. A cgroup that was already configured idle before the scheduler was loaded (or before it was onlined under it) is presented as non-idle, and the BPF scheduler only learns about it if cpu.idle is written again later. Add the sched_idle state to scx_cgroup_init_args and fill it in all four places that build the args: scx_tg_online() for cgroups onlined under the scheduler, scx_cgroup_init() for cgroups that already exist when the scheduler is loaded, and the sub-scheduler handover paths scx_cgroup_claim_subtree() and scx_cgroup_return_subtree(). Verified in a VM with a probe scheduler printing the init args: a cgroup configured cpu.idle=1 before loading shows sched_idle=1 in ops.cgroup_init(), the default shows 0, and later cpu.idle writes still come through ops.cgroup_set_idle(). The sub-scheduler paths are compile-tested only. Fixes: 347ed2d566da ("sched/ext: Implement cgroup_set_idle() callback") Signed-off-by: Tao Cui Reviewed-by: Andrea Righi --- v2 -> v3: Rename the new field to sched_idle, as a bare "idle" reads as CPU idle state in sched_ext, per Tejun. Add the Fixes: tag suggested by Andrea. Regenerated on top of current linux-next, which also resolves the CI conflict reported for v2. The tg->scx.idle rename now lives in 2/2. v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260824142817.568085-1-cui.tao@linux.dev kernel/sched/ext/ext.c | 4 +++- kernel/sched/ext/internal.h | 3 +++ kernel/sched/ext/sub.c | 2 ++ 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/sched/ext/ext.c b/kernel/sched/ext/ext.c index c539d15cda63..82cf8f57e15c 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/ext/ext.c +++ b/kernel/sched/ext/ext.c @@ -4764,7 +4764,8 @@ int scx_tg_online(struct task_group *tg) { .weight = tg->scx.weight, .bw_period_us = tg->scx.bw_period_us, .bw_quota_us = tg->scx.bw_quota_us, - .bw_burst_us = tg->scx.bw_burst_us }; + .bw_burst_us = tg->scx.bw_burst_us, + .sched_idle = tg->scx.idle }; ret = SCX_CALL_OP_RET(sch, cgroup_init, NULL, tg->css.cgroup, &args); @@ -5185,6 +5186,7 @@ static int scx_cgroup_init(struct scx_sched *sch) .bw_period_us = tg->scx.bw_period_us, .bw_quota_us = tg->scx.bw_quota_us, .bw_burst_us = tg->scx.bw_burst_us, + .sched_idle = tg->scx.idle, }; ret = SCX_CALL_OP_RET(sch, cgroup_init, NULL, css->cgroup, &args); diff --git a/kernel/sched/ext/internal.h b/kernel/sched/ext/internal.h index 53e136a47924..c6987a3a073b 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/ext/internal.h +++ b/kernel/sched/ext/internal.h @@ -259,6 +259,9 @@ struct scx_cgroup_init_args { u64 bw_period_us; u64 bw_quota_us; u64 bw_burst_us; + + /* whether the cgroup is configured SCHED_IDLE via cpu.idle */ + bool sched_idle; }; enum scx_cpu_preempt_reason { diff --git a/kernel/sched/ext/sub.c b/kernel/sched/ext/sub.c index 0554448835bd..385302d19914 100644 --- a/kernel/sched/ext/sub.c +++ b/kernel/sched/ext/sub.c @@ -1361,6 +1361,7 @@ static s32 scx_cgroup_claim_subtree(struct scx_sched *sch) .bw_period_us = tg->scx.bw_period_us, .bw_quota_us = tg->scx.bw_quota_us, .bw_burst_us = tg->scx.bw_burst_us, + .sched_idle = tg->scx.idle, }; if (tg->scx.sched != parent || @@ -1464,6 +1465,7 @@ static void scx_cgroup_return_subtree(struct scx_sched *sch) .bw_period_us = tg->scx.bw_period_us, .bw_quota_us = tg->scx.bw_quota_us, .bw_burst_us = tg->scx.bw_burst_us, + .sched_idle = tg->scx.idle, }; /* the first pass must have transferred everything */ -- 2.43.0
