[PATCH 03/10] sched/ext: Split curr|donor references properly
From: Andrea Righi
Date: Wed May 06 2026 - 13:47:33 EST
From: John Stultz <jstultz@xxxxxxxxxx>
With proxy-exec, we want to do the accounting against the donor most of
the time. Without proxy-exec, there should be no difference as the
rq->donor and rq->curr are the same.
So rework the logic to reference the rq->donor where appropriate.
Also add donor info to scx_dump_state().
Since CONFIG_SCHED_PROXY_EXEC currently depends on
!CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT, this should have no effect (other than the
extra donor output in scx_dump_state), but this is one step needed to
eventually remove that constraint for proxy-exec.
