[PATCH sched_ext/for-7.3] sched_ext: skip ops.set_weight() for disabled tasks

From: Kuba Piecuch

Date: Fri Jul 10 2026 - 10:47:47 EST


When switching a task's sched_class away from sched_ext, we get the
following sequence of events in __sched_setscheduler():

sched_change_begin()
switched_from_scx()
scx_disable_task(p)
ops.disable(p)
__setscheduler_params()
set_load_weight()
reweight_task_scx(p)
ops.set_weight(p)
p->sched_class = next_class;
sched_change_end()
...

Notably, ops.set_weight() is called _after_ ops.disable().
This violates the expected semantics of the callbacks, the expectation
being that ops.disable() can only be followed by ops.exit_task() or
ops.enable().

Skipping the weight adjustment for disabled tasks should be harmless
since the weight will be recalculated in scx_enable_task() if the task
ever rejoins SCX.
