[PATCH 5/6] sched_ext: Move scx_tasks_lock handling into scx_task_iter helpers
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Oct 09 2024 - 17:45:17 EST
Iterating with scx_task_iter involves scx_tasks_lock and optionally the rq
lock of the task being iterated. Both locks can be released during iteration
and the iteration can be continued after re-grabbing scx_tasks_lock.
Currently, all lock handling is pushed to the caller which is a bit
cumbersome and makes it difficult to add lock-aware behaviors. Make the
scx_task_iter helpers handle scx_tasks_lock.
- scx_task_iter_init/scx_taks_iter_exit() now grabs and releases
scx_task_lock, respectively. Renamed to
scx_task_iter_start/scx_task_iter_stop() to more clearly indicate that
there are non-trivial side-effects.
- Add __ prefix to scx_task_iter_rq_unlock() to indicate that the function
is internal.
- Add scx_task_iter_unlock/relock(). The former drops both rq lock (if held)
and scx_tasks_lock and the latter re-locks only scx_tasks_lock.
This doesn't cause behavior changes and will be used to implement stall
avoidance.
