[PATCH 24/34] sched_ext: Dispatch from all scx_sched instances
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Feb 25 2026 - 00:23:26 EST
The cgroup sub-sched support involves invasive changes to many areas of
sched_ext. The overall scaffolding is now in place and the next step is
implementing sub-sched enable/disable.
To enable partial testing and verification, update balance_one() to
dispatch from all scx_sched instances until it finds a task to run. This
should keep scheduling working when sub-scheds are enabled with tasks on
them. This will be replaced by BPF-driven hierarchical operation.
