2026-08-14selftests/sched_ext: Fix flaky ddsp failure tests on busy systemsMichal Blaszczyk
The ddsp_vtimelocal_fail and ddsp_bogus_dsq_fail tests skip calling scx_bpf_dsq_insert_vtime() if scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu() fails to find an idle CPU (returns a negative error code). On loaded systems, this results in the tests skipping the very assertions they are meant to verify. Eliminate this flakiness by falling back to prev_cpu if no idle CPU is found, ensuring the illegal dispatch operations are unconditionally attempted and tested.

2026-08-14selftests/sched_ext: Make numa idle validation race-freeCheng-Yang Chou
A CPU returned by scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu_node() can be re-advertised as idle by an idle-to-idle re-pick before the BPF program validates the selection, and the scx_bpf_pick_any_cpu_node() fallback doesn't claim the CPU at all. Asserting that the picked CPU is absent from the node's idle cpumask is therefore inherently racy. Follow the same approach as commit 12da4723b679 ("selftests/sched_ext: Make allowed_cpus idle validation race-free") and validate a stable local invariant instead: a CPU executing ops.select_cpu() in a non-idle scheduling context must not be advertised as idle in its node's idle cpumask. Keep the node-membership validation of the picked CPU, which is stable. Signed-off-by: Cheng-Yang Chou <yphbchou0911@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2026-08-10selftests/sched_ext: Check skeleton open failure in exit testLiang Luo
exit.c does not check the return value of exit__open(). If it returns NULL, which happens when the skeleton wrapper fails to allocate the object or open the BPF ELF, the very next line dereferences it via SCX_ENUM_INIT(). That macro expands to SCX_ENUM_SET(), which accesses skel->rodata, causing a NULL pointer dereference. Every other selftest guards this with SCX_FAIL_IF(!skel, ...); exit.c is the only one missing it.

2026-07-23selftests/sched_ext: Handle sleeping task affinity changes in numa testKuba Piecuch
When a sleeping task's affinity is changed, task_cpu(p) can be outside of p->cpus_ptr until after select_task_rq() selects a new runqueue for the task during wakeup. Thus, the task's NUMA node determined by numa_select_cpu() can be completely outside of the task's cpumask, leading to scx_pick_{idle,any}_cpu_node() failing to find an eligible CPU and returning -EBUSY. This leads to the numa.bpf.c scheduler abnormally exiting with the following message in dmesg: sched_ext: numa: invalid CPU -16 scx_bpf_cpu_node+0x120/0x190 bpf_prog_0a34b8e0f515771f_numa_select_cpu+0x108/0x14e bpf__sched_ext_ops_select_cpu+0x4f/0xb4 select_task_rq_scx+0xb0/0x210 select_task_rq+0xa0/0xd0 __try_to_wake_up+0x196/0x650 complete_all+0x76/0x100 migration_cpu_stop+0x22b/0x300 cpu_stopper_thread+0xc1/0x180 smpboot_thread_fn+0x16b/0x230 kthread+0x2d7/0x350 ret_from_fork+0x1c2/0x350 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 Make numa_select_cpu() robust against this case by returning @prev_cpu if no CPU could be found in the selected NUMA node _and_ we have reason to believe that the task's affinity was changed while it was sleeping.

In prog_run's run(), the bpf_link is attached early but only destroyed on the success path. The three SCX_EQ assertions between attach and destroy expand to a direct 'return SCX_TEST_FAIL', so if any of them triggers, bpf_link__destroy() is never reached and the BPF scheduler stays loaded. All subsequent tests then fail to attach because SCX is not in the DISABLED state.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo: "Most of this continues the in-development sub-scheduler support, which lets a root BPF scheduler delegate to nested sub-schedulers. The dispatch-path building blocks landed in 7.1. A follow-up patchset in development will complete enqueue-path support for hierarchical scheduling. This cycle adds most of that infrastructure: - Topological CPU IDs (cids): a dense, topology-ordered CPU numbering where the CPUs of a core, LLC, or NUMA node form contiguous ranges, so a topology unit becomes a (start, length) slice. Raw CPU numbers are sparse and don't track topological closeness, which makes them clumsy for sharding work across sub-schedulers and awkward in BPF. - cmask: bitmaps windowed over a slice of cid space, so a sub-scheduler can track, for example, the idle cids of its shard without a full NR_CPUS cpumask. - A struct_ops variant that cid-form sub-schedulers register with, along with the cid-form kfuncs they call. - BPF arena integration, which sub-scheduler support is built on. The bpf-next additions let the kernel read and write the BPF scheduler's arena directly, turning it into a real kernel/BPF shared-memory channel. Shared state like the per-CPU cmask now lives there. - scx_qmap is reworked to exercise the new arena and cid interfaces. Additionally: - Exit-dump improvements: dump the faulting CPU first, expose the exit CPU to BPF and userspace, and normalize the dump header. - Misc kfuncs and cleanups: a task-ID lookup kfunc, __printf checking on the error and dump formatters, header reorganization, and assorted fixes" * tag 'sched_ext-for-7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext: (59 commits) sched_ext: Add scx_arena_to_kaddr() / scx_kaddr_to_arena() sched_ext: Make scx_bpf_kick_cid() return s32 sched_ext: Add scx_cmask_test() and scx_cmask_for_each_cid() tools/sched_ext: Order single-cid cmask helpers as (cid, mask) sched_ext: Order single-cid cmask helpers as (cid, mask) selftests/sched_ext: Fix dsq_move_to_local check sched_ext: Guard BPF arena helper calls to fix 32-bit build sched_ext: idle: Fix errno loss in scx_idle_init() sched_ext: Convert ops.set_cmask() to arena-resident cmask sched_ext: Sub-allocator over kernel-claimed BPF arena pages sched_ext: Require an arena for cid-form schedulers sched_ext: Add cmask mask ops sched_ext: Track bits[] storage size in struct scx_cmask sched_ext: Rename scx_cmask.nr_bits to nr_cids tools/sched_ext: scx_qmap: Fix qa arena placement sched_ext: Mark !CONFIG_EXT_SUB_SCHED dummy stubs static inline sched_ext: Replace tryget_task_struct() with get_task_struct() sched_ext: Add scx_task_iter_relock() and use it in scx_root_enable_workfn() sched_ext: Fix ops_cid layout assert sched_ext: Use offsetofend on both sides of the ops_cid layout assert ...

2026-02-23selftests/sched_ext: Add test to validate ops.dequeue() semanticsAndrea Righi
Add a new kselftest to validate that the new ops.dequeue() semantics work correctly for all task lifecycle scenarios, including the distinction between terminal DSQs (where BPF scheduler is done with the task), user DSQs (where BPF scheduler manages the task lifecycle) and BPF data structures, regardless of which event performs the dispatch. The test validates the following scenarios: - From ops.select_cpu(): - scenario 0 (local DSQ): tasks dispatched to the local DSQ bypass the BPF scheduler entirely; they never enter BPF custody, so ops.dequeue() is not called, - scenario 1 (global DSQ): tasks dispatched to SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL also bypass the BPF scheduler, like the local DSQ; ops.dequeue() is not called, - scenario 2 (user DSQ): tasks dispatched to user DSQs from ops.select_cpu(): tasks enter BPF scheduler's custody with full enqueue/dequeue lifecycle tracking and state machine validation, expects 1:1 enqueue/dequeue pairing, - From ops.enqueue(): - scenario 3 (local DSQ): same behavior as scenario 0, - scenario 4 (global DSQ): same behavior as scenario 1, - scenario 5 (user DSQ): same behavior as scenario 2, - scenario 6 (BPF internal queue): tasks are stored in a BPF queue from ops.enqueue() and consumed from ops.dispatch(); similarly to scenario 5, tasks enter BPF scheduler's custody with full lifecycle tracking and 1:1 enqueue/dequeue validation. This verifies that: - terminal DSQ dispatch (local, global) don't trigger ops.dequeue(), - tasks dispatched to user DSQs, either from ops.select_cpu() or ops.enqueue(), enter BPF scheduler's custody and have exact 1:1 enqueue/dequeue pairing, - tasks stored to internal BPF data structures from ops.enqueue() enter BPF scheduler's custody and have exact 1:1 enqueue/dequeue pairing, - dispatch dequeues have no flags (normal workflow), - property change dequeues have the %SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE flag set, - no duplicate enqueues or invalid state transitions are happening.

2026-02-13selftests/sched_ext: Fix rt_stall flaky failureIhor Solodrai
The rt_stall test measures the runtime ratio between an EXT and an RT task pinned to the same CPU, verifying that the deadline server prevents RT tasks from starving SCHED_EXT tasks. It expects the EXT task to get at least 4% of CPU time. The test is flaky because sched_stress_test() calls sleep(RUN_TIME) immediately after fork(), without waiting for the RT child to complete its setup (set_affinity + set_sched). If the RT child experiences scheduling latency before completing setup, that delay eats into the measurement window: the RT child runs for less than RUN_TIME seconds, and the EXT task's measured ratio drops below the 4% threshold. For example, in the failing CI run [1]: EXT=0.140s RT=4.750s total=4.890s (expected ~5.0s) ratio=2.86% < 4% → FAIL The 110ms gap (5.0 - 4.89) corresponds to the RT child's setup time being counted inside the measurement window, during which fewer deadline server ticks fire for the EXT task. Fix by using pipes to synchronize: each child signals the parent after completing its setup, and the parent waits for both signals before starting sleep(RUN_TIME). This ensures the measurement window only counts time when both tasks are fully configured and competing.

Before a BPF scheduler is loaded 2. While a BPF scheduler is loaded and active 3. After a BPF scheduler is unloaded The test runs CPU stress threads to ensure DL server bandwidth values stabilize before checking consistency.

2026-02-02selftests/sched_ext: Fix init_enable_count flakinessTejun Heo
The init_enable_count test is flaky. The test forks 1024 children before attaching the scheduler to verify that existing tasks get ops.init_task() called. The children were using sleep(1) before exiting. 7900aa699c34 ("sched_ext: Fix cgroup exit ordering by moving sched_ext_free() to finish_task_switch()") changed when tasks are removed from scx_tasks - previously when the task_struct was freed, now immediately in finish_task_switch() when the task dies. Before the commit, pre-forked children would linger on scx_tasks until freed regardless of when they exited, so the scheduler would always see them during iteration. The sleep(1) was unnecessary. After the commit, children are removed as soon as they die. The sleep(1) masks the problem in most cases but the test becomes flaky depending on timing. Fix by synchronizing properly using a pipe. All children block on read() and the parent signals them to exit by closing the write end after attaching the scheduler. The children are auto-reaped so there's no need to wait on them.

When the main runner has not flushed its stdout, the children inherit the buffered output for previous tests and emit it during exit. This causes log spam.

2025-10-15sched_ext: Add a selftest for scx_bpf_dsq_peekRyan Newton
This commit adds two tests. The first is the most basic unit test: make sure an empty queue peeks as empty, and when we put one element in the queue, make sure peek returns that element. However, even this simple test is a little complicated by the different behavior of scx_bpf_dsq_insert in different calling contexts: - insert is for direct dispatch in enqueue - insert is delayed when called from select_cpu In this case we split the insert and the peek that verifies the result between enqueue/dispatch. Note: An alternative would be to call `scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local` on an empty queue, which in turn calls `flush_dispatch_buf`, in order to flush the buffered insert. Unfortunately, this is not viable within the enqueue path, as it attempts a voluntary context switch within an RCU read-side critical section. The second test is a stress test that performs many peeks on all DSQs and records the observed tasks.
