[PATCHSET sched_ext/for-7.1] sched_ext: Implement SCX_ENQ_IMMED
From: Tejun Heo

Hello,
SCX_ENQ_IMMED makes enqueue to local DSQs succeed only if the task can
start running immediately - the current task is done and no other tasks are
waiting. If the condition isn't met, the task is re-enqueued through
ops.enqueue(). This gives the BPF scheduler tighter control over when tasks
actually land on a CPU.
- Patch 1 disallows setting slice to zero via scx_bpf_task_set_slice() as
zero slice is used by ENQ_IMMED to detect whether the current task is
done.
- Patch 2 implements SCX_ENQ_IMMED with reenqueue support and loop
detection.
- Patch 3 adds SCX_OPS_ALWAYS_ENQ_IMMED ops flag to automatically apply
IMMED to all local DSQ enqueues.
This patchset depends on:
- "sched_ext: Overhaul DSQ reenqueue infrastructure"
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260306190623.1076074-1-tj@xxxxxxxxxx
Based on sched_ext/for-7.1 (4f8b122848db) + scx-reenq (a41719e6ae12).
