From 1dd6c84f1c544e552848a8968599220bd464e338 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zqiang qiang.zhang@linux.dev Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 19:25:40 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: Fix incorrect sched_class settings for per-cpu migration tasks
When loading the ebpf scheduler, the tasks in the scx_tasks list will be traversed and invoke __setscheduler_class() to get new sched_class. however, this would also incorrectly set the per-cpu migration task's->sched_class to rt_sched_class, even after unload, the per-cpu migration task's->sched_class remains sched_rt_class.
The log for this issue is as follows:

This commit therefore generate a new scx_setscheduler_class() and add check for stop_sched_class to replace __setscheduler_class().
