[PATCH] sched_ext: Don't warn on core-sched forced idle in put_prev_task_scx()
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Jun 24 2026 - 19:55:41 EST
put_prev_task_scx() warns when a runnable task drops to a lower
sched_class without SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST, assuming balance_one() would
otherwise keep it running.
Under core scheduling that assumption is wrong: a forced-idle SMT sibling
reschedules through the core_pick fast path in pick_next_task(), which
skips balance() for the CPU, so balance_one() never runs and a runnable
task can drop to idle with ENQ_LAST unset. Skip the warning when core
scheduling is enabled.
Fixes: 7c65ae81ea86 ("sched_ext: Don't call put_prev_task_scx() before picking the next task")
