[PATCH v3] sched_ext: Replace rq_lock() to raw_spin_rq_lock() in scx_ops_bypass()

From: Changwoo Min
Date: Wed Jan 08 2025 - 10:08:51 EST


scx_ops_bypass() iterates all CPUs to re-enqueue all the scx tasks.
For each CPU, it acquires a lock using rq_lock() regardless of whether
a CPU is offline or the CPU is currently running a task in a higher
scheduler class (e.g., deadline). The rq_lock() is supposed to be used
for online CPUs, and the use of rq_lock() may trigger an unnecessary
warning in rq_pin_lock(). Therefore, replace rq_lock() to
raw_spin_rq_lock() in scx_ops_bypass().

Without this change, we observe the following warning:

===== START =====
[ 6.615205] rq->balance_callback && rq->balance_callback != &balance_push_callback
[ 6.615208] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/sched.h:1730 __schedule+0x1130/0x1c90
===== END =====

Fixes: 0e7ffff1b811 ("scx: Fix raciness in scx_ops_bypass()")

ChangeLog v2 -> v3:
- Trim long warning messages for readability.
- Properly add the Fixes tag.

ChangeLog v1 -> v2:
- Add warning messages without this change.
- Use resched_curr() instead of resched_cpu() to avoid redundant locking (Andrea)
