[PATCH sched_ext/for-7.3 26/32] sched_ext: Add the SCX_CAP_ENQ cap
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Fri Jul 03 2026 - 04:19:53 EST
Add SCX_CAP_ENQ, which gates inserting tasks onto a cid's local DSQ. Unlike
IMMED enqueue, plain enqueues can pile up, so ENQ is the stronger cap and
implies ENQ_IMMED. Losing ENQ also triggers the reenq scan. The scan tests
each queued task and the running task against the cap each needs via
scx_caps_for_task(), so an ENQ-only loss reenqueues plain tasks, evicting a
running one, while IMMED tasks, which need only ENQ_IMMED, stay put.
