[PATCH 13/34] sched_ext: Refactor task init/exit helpers
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Feb 25 2026 - 00:13:32 EST
- Add the @sch parameter to scx_init_task() and drop @tg as it can be
obtained from @p. Separate out __scx_init_task() which does everything
except for the task state transition.
- Add the @sch parameter to scx_enable_task(). Separate out
__scx_enable_task() which does everything except for the task state
transition.
- Add the @sch parameter to scx_disable_task().
- Rename scx_exit_task() to scx_disable_and_exit_task() and separate out
__scx_disable_and_exit_task() which does everything except for the task
state transition.
While some task state transitions are relocated, no meaningful behavior
changes are expected.
