[PATCH 05/15] sched: Add prepare_switch() class callback

Andrea Righi <[email protected]> Tue, 28 Jul 2026 17:43:23 +0200
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.sched-ext,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
sched_change_begin() only invokes callbacks on the outgoing class before
recording the task queueing state. An incoming class may need to prepare
a task while that state is still live, before the normal dequeue and
class transition take place.

Pass the incoming class to sched_change_begin() and invoke its optional
prepare_switch() callback before recording the queued and running state.

This is a preparatory change to support proxy execution with sched_ext.
