[PATCH v5 17/19] sched: Start blocked_on chain processing in proxy()

From: John Stultz
Date: Sat Aug 19 2023 - 02:11:14 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Start to flesh out the real proxy() implementation, but
avoid the migration cases for now, in those cases just
deactivate the selected task and pick again.

To ensure the selected task or other blocked tasks in
the chain aren't migrated away while we're running the
proxy, this patch also tweaks CFS logic to avoid migrating
selected or mutex blocked tasks.
