Because the BPF scheduler's dispatch path is invoked from balance(), sched_ext needs to invoke balance_one() on all sibling rq's before picking the next task for core-sched. Before the recent pick_next_task() updates, sched_ext couldn't share pick task between regular and core-sched paths because pick_next_task() depended on put_prev_task() being called on the current task. Tasks currently running on sibling rq's can't be put when one rq is trying to pick the next task, so pick_task_scx() had to have a separate mechanism to pick between a sibling rq's current task and the first task in its local DSQ. However, with the preceding updates, pick_next_task_scx() no longer depends on the current task being put and can compare the current task and the next in line statelessly, and the pick task logic should be shareable between regular and core-sched paths. Unify regular and core-sched pick task paths: - There's no reason to distinguish local and sibling picks anymore. @local is removed from balance_one(). - pick_next_task_scx() is turned into pick_task_scx() by dropping the put_prev_set_next_task() call. - The old pick_task_scx() is dropped.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
