- Improve the default select_cpu() implementation making it topology aware
and handle WAKE_SYNC better.
- set_arg_maybe_null() was used to inform the verifier which ops args could
be NULL in a rather hackish way. Use the new __nullable CFI stub tags
instead.
- On Sapphire Rapids multi-socket systems, a BPF scheduler, by hammering on
the same queue across sockets, could live-lock the system to the point
where the system couldn't make reasonable forward progress. This could
lead to soft-lockup triggered resets or stalling out bypass mode switch
and thus BPF scheduler ejection for tens of minutes if not hours. After
trying a number of mitigations, the following set worked reliably:
- Injecting artificial cpu_relax() loops in two places while sched_ext is
trying to turn on the bypass mode.
- Triggering scheduler ejection when soft-lockup detection is imminent (a
quarter of threshold left).
While not the prettiest, the impact both in terms of code complexity and
overhead is minimal.
- A common complaint on the API is the overuse of the word "dispatch" and
the confusion around "consume". This is due to how the dispatch queues
became more generic over time. Rename the affected kfuncs for clarity.
Thanks to BPF's compatibility features, this change can be made in a way
that's both forward and backward compatible. The compatibility code will
be dropped in a few releases.
- Pull sched_ext/for-6.12-fixes to receive a prerequisite change. Other misc
changes.
