[PATCH 4/5] sched_ext: Remove scx_ops_allow_queued_wakeup static_key
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Apr 08 2025 - 19:06:59 EST
scx_ops_allow_queued_wakeup is used to encode SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP
into a static_key. The test is gated behind scx_enabled(), and, even when
sched_ext is enabled, is unlikely for the static_key usage to make any
meaningful difference. It is made to use a static_key mostly because there
was no reason not to. However, global static_keys can't work with the
planned hierarchical multiple scheduler support. Remove the static_key and
instead test SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP directly.
In repeated hackbench runs before and after static_keys removal on an AMD
Ryzen 3900X, I couldn't tell any measurable performance difference.
