[PATCH 8/8] tools/sched_ext: scx_qmap - Add init fault injection modes

Tejun Heo <[email protected]> Fri, 17 Jul 2026 22:17:27 -1000
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.sched-ext,org.kernel.vger.cgroups,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Add -J init-fail which makes ops.init_task() fail with -ENOMEM for tasks
whose comm starts with "qmfail", and -J cgrp-init-fail which does the same
in ops.cgroup_init() for cgroups named "qmfail*".

The former exercises the migration veto path: the cgroup.procs write must
fail with the injected errno while the destination sched stays up and the
task stays put. The latter exercises the ownership-return failure path: a
parent failing to re-init a returned cgroup leaves it unowned, and moves and
set_* ops against it must be skipped instead of dereferencing the missing
owner. Matching on "qmfail" names keeps the injecting scheduler's own enable
unaffected.
