When scheduling the deferred balance callbacks, check SCX_RQ_BAL_CB_PENDING
instead of SCX_RQ_BAL_PENDING. This way schedule_deferred() properly tests
whether there is already a pending request for queue_balance_callback() to
be invoked at the end of .balance().

If we load a BPF scheduler while another scheduler is already running,
alloc_kick_pseqs() would be called again, overwriting the previously
allocated arrays.
Fix by moving the alloc_kick_pseqs() call after the scx_enable_state()
check, ensuring that the arrays are only allocated when a scheduler can
actually be loaded.

On systems with >4096 CPUs, scx_kick_cpus_pnt_seqs allocation fails during
boot because it exceeds the 32,768 byte percpu allocator limit.
Restructure to use DEFINE_PER_CPU() for the per-CPU pointers, with each CPU
pointing to its own kvzalloc'd array. Move allocation from boot time to
scx_enable() and free in scx_disable(), so the O(nr_cpu_ids^2) memory is only
consumed when sched_ext is active.
Use RCU to guard against racing with free. Arrays are freed via call_rcu()
and kick_cpus_irq_workfn() uses rcu_dereference_bh() with a NULL check.
While at it, rename to scx_kick_pseqs for brevity and update comments to
clarify these are pick_task sequence numbers.
v2: RCU protect scx_kick_seqs to manage kick_cpus_irq_workfn() racing
against disable as per Andrea.
v3: Fix bugs notcied by Andrea.

The sched_ext code calls queue_balance_callback() during enqueue_task()
to defer operations that drop multiple locks until we can unpin them.
The call assumes that the rq lock is held until the callbacks are
invoked, and the pending callbacks will not be visible to any other
threads. This is enforced by a WARN_ON_ONCE() in rq_pin_lock().
However, balance_one() may actually drop the lock during a BPF dispatch
call. Another thread may win the race to get the rq lock and see the
pending callback. To avoid this, sched_ext must only queue the callback
after the dispatch calls have completed.

The intention behind scx_kf_exit/error() was that when called from kfuncs,
scx_kf_exit/error() would be able to implicitly determine the scx_sched

in explicitly. This turned out to be unnecessarily complicated to implement
and not have enough practical benefits. Replace scx_kf_exit/error() usages
with scx_exit/error() which take an explicit @sch parameter.
- Add the @sch parameter to scx_kf_allowed(), scx_kf_allowed_on_arg_tasks,

finishes successfully. This is because ops.exit() allows rich exit info

scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() can be called from ops.cpu_release() when a
CPU is taken by a higher scheduling class to give tasks queued to the
CPU's local DSQ a chance to be migrated somewhere else, instead of
waiting indefinitely for that CPU to become available again.
In doing so, we decided to skip migration-disabled tasks, under the
assumption that they cannot be migrated anyway.
However, when a higher scheduling class preempts a CPU, the running task
is always inserted at the head of the local DSQ as a migration-disabled
task. This means it is always skipped by scx_bpf_reenqueue_local(), and
ends up being confined to the same CPU even if that CPU is heavily
contended by other higher scheduling class tasks.
As an example, let's consider the following scenario:
$ schedtool -a 0,1, -e yes > /dev/null
$ sudo schedtool -F -p 99 -a 0, -e \
stress-ng -c 1 --cpu-load 99 --cpu-load-slice 1000
The first task (SCHED_EXT) can run on CPU0 or CPU1. The second task
(SCHED_FIFO) is pinned to CPU0 and consumes ~99% of it. If the SCHED_EXT
task initially runs on CPU0, it will remain there because it always sees
CPU0 as "idle" in the short gaps left by the RT task, resulting in ~1%
utilization while CPU1 stays idle:

975 arighi 20 0 R 0 1.0 0.0 0:26.32 yes
By allowing scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() to re-enqueue migration-disabled
tasks, the scheduler can choose to migrate them to other CPUs (CPU1 in
this case) via ops.enqueue(), leading to better CPU utilization:
0[||||||||||||||||||||||100.0%] 8[ 0.0%]

It's debatable whether per-CPU tasks should be re-enqueued as well, but
doing so is probably safer: the scheduler can recognize re-enqueued
tasks through the %SCX_ENQ_REENQ flag, reassess their placement, and
either put them back at the head of the local DSQ or let another task
attempt to take the CPU.
This also prevents giving per-CPU tasks an implicit priority boost,
which would otherwise make them more likely to reclaim CPUs preempted by
higher scheduling classes.

Many scx schedulers make use of scx_bpf_cpu_rq() to check a remote curr

scx_bpf_cpu_rq() provides access to all fields of struct rq, most of

SCX hooks into CPU cgroup controller operations and read-locks
scx_cgroup_rwsem to exclude them while enabling and disable schedulers.
While this works, it's unnecessarily complicated given that
cgroup_[un]lock() are available and thus the cgroup operations can be locked
out that way.
Drop scx_cgroup_rwsem locking from the tg on/offline and cgroup [can_]attach
operations. Instead, grab cgroup_lock() from scx_cgroup_lock(). Drop
scx_cgroup_finish_attach() which is no longer necessary. Drop the now
unnecessary rcu locking and css ref bumping in scx_cgroup_init() and
scx_cgroup_exit().
As scx_cgroup_set_weight/bandwidth() paths aren't protected by
cgroup_lock(), rename scx_cgroup_rwsem to scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem and retain
the locking there.
This is overall simpler and will also allow enable/disable paths to
synchronize against cgroup changes independent of the CPU controller.

scx_enable() turns on the bypass mode while enable is in progress. If
enabling fails, it turns off the bypass mode and then triggers scx_error().
scx_error() will trigger scx_disable_workfn() which will turn on the bypass
mode again and unload the failed scheduler.
This moves the system out of bypass mode between the enable error path and
the disable path, which is unnecessary and can be brittle - e.g. the thread
running scx_enable() may already be on the failed scheduler and can be
switched out before it triggers scx_error() leading to a stall. The watchdog
would eventually kick in, so the situation isn't critical but is still
suboptimal.
There is nothing to be gained by turning off the bypass mode between
scx_enable() failure and scx_disable_workfn(). Keep bypass on.

During tasks iteration, the locks can be dropped using
scx_task_iter_unlock() to perform e.g. sleepable allocations. Afterwards,
scx_task_iter_relock() has to be called prior to other iteration operations,
which is error-prone. This can be easily automated by tracking whether
scx_tasks_lock is held in scx_task_iter and re-acquiring when necessary. It
already tracks whether the task's rq is locked after all.
- Add scx_task_iter->list_locked which remembers whether scx_tasks_lock is
held.
- Rename scx_task_iter->locked to scx_task_iter->locked_task to better
distinguish it from ->list_locked.
- Replace scx_task_iter_relock() with __scx_task_iter_maybe_relock() which
is automatically called by scx_task_iter_next() and scx_task_iter_stop().
- Drop explicit scx_task_iter_relock() calls.
The resulting behavior should be equivalent.

When enabling a sched_ext scheduler, we may trigger invalid task state
transitions, resulting in warnings like the following (which can be
easily reproduced by running the hotplug selftest in a loop):
sched_ext: Invalid task state transition 0 -> 3 for fish[770]
WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 787 at kernel/sched/ext.c:3862 scx_set_task_state+0x7c/0xc0

This happens because we skip initialization for tasks that are already
dead (with their usage counter set to zero), but we don't exclude them
during the scheduling class transition phase.
Fix this by also skipping dead tasks during class swiching, preventing
invalid task state transitions.

Avoid invoking update_locked_rq() when the runqueue (rq) pointer is NULL
in the SCX_CALL_OP and SCX_CALL_OP_RET macros.
Previously, calling update_locked_rq(NULL) with preemption enabled could
trigger the following warning:
BUG: using __this_cpu_write() in preemptible [00000000]
This happens because __this_cpu_write() is unsafe to use in preemptible
context.
rq is NULL when an ops invoked from an unlocked context. In such cases, we
don't need to store any rq, since the value should already be NULL
(unlocked). Ensure that update_locked_rq() is only called when rq is
non-NULL, preventing calling __this_cpu_write() on preemptible context.

sched_ext performed a kfunc renaming pass in 6.13 and kept the old names
around for compatibility with old binaries. These were scheduled for
cleanup in 6.15 but were missed. Submitting for cleanup in for-next.
Removed the kfuncs, their flags, and any references I could find to them
in doc comments. Left the entries in include/scx/compat.bpf.h as they're
still useful to make new binaries compatible with old kernels.
Tested by applying to my kernel. It builds and a modern version of
scx_lavd loads fine.

For systems using a sched_ext scheduler and has panic_on_rcu_stall
enabled, try kicking out the current scheduler before issuing a panic.
While there are numerous reasons for RCU CPU stalls that are not
directly attributed to the scheduler, deferring the panic gives
sched_ext an opportunity to provide additional debug info when ejecting
the current scheduler. Also, handling the event more gracefully allows
us to potentially recover the system instead of incurring additional
down time.

sched_create_group()
During task_group creation, sched_create_group() calls
scx_group_set_weight() with CGROUP_WEIGHT_DFL to initialize the sched_ext
portion. This is premature and ends up calling ops.cgroup_set_weight() with
an incorrect @cgrp before ops.cgroup_init() is called.
sched_create_group() should just initialize SCX related fields in the new
task_group. Fix it by factoring out scx_tg_init() from sched_init() and
making sched_create_group() call that function instead of
scx_group_set_weight().
v2: Retain CONFIG_EXT_GROUP_SCHED ifdef in sched_init() as removing it leads
to build failures on !CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED configs.

In preparation of hierarchical scheduling support, add @sch to scx_exit()
and friends:
- scx_exit/error() updated to take explicit @sch instead of assuming
scx_root.
- scx_kf_exit/error() added. These are to be used from kfuncs, don't take
@sch and internally determine the scx_sched instance to abort. Currently,
it's always scx_root but once multiple scheduler support is in place, it
will be the scx_sched instance that invoked the kfunc. This simplifies
many callsites and defers scx_sched lookup until error is triggered.
- @sch is propagated to ops_cpu_valid() and ops_sanitize_err(). The CPU
validity conditions in ops_cpu_valid() are factored into __cpu_valid() to
implement kf_cpu_valid() which is the counterpart to scx_kf_exit/error().
- All users are converted. Most conversions are straightforward.
check_rq_for_timeouts() and scx_softlockup() are updated to use explicit
rcu_dereference*(scx_root) for safety as they may execute asynchronous to
the exit path. scx_tick() is also updated to use rcu_dereference(). While
not strictly necessary due to the preceding scx_enabled() test and IRQ
disabled context, this removes the subtlety at no noticeable cost.
No behavior changes intended.

__scx_exit() is the base exit implementation and there are three wrappers on
top of it - scx_exit(), __scx_error() and scx_error(). This is more
confusing than helpful especially given that there are only a couple users
of scx_exit() and __scx_error(). To simplify the situation:
- Make __scx_exit() take va_list and rename it to scx_vexit(). This is to
ease implementing more complex extensions on top.
- Make scx_exit() a varargs wrapper around __scx_exit(). scx_exit() now
takes both @kind and @exit_code.
- Convert existing scx_exit() and __scx_error() users to use the new
scx_exit().
- scx_error() remains unchanged.
