[PATCH v6 20/20] sched: Add deactivated (sleeping) owner handling to proxy()

From: John Stultz
Date: Mon Nov 06 2023 - 14:37:45 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Adds a implementation of (sleeping) deactivated owner handling
where we queue the selected task on the deactivated owner task
and deactivate it as well, re-activating it later when the owner
is woken up.

NOTE: This has been particularly challenging to get working
properly, and some of the locking is particularly ackward. I'd
very much appreciate review and feedback for ways to simplify
this.

[jstultz: This was broken out from the larger proxy() patch]

v5:
* Split out from larger proxy patch
v6:
* Major rework, replacing the single list head per task with
per-task list head and nodes, creating a tree structure so
we only wake up decendents of the task woken.
* Reworked the locking to take the task->pi_lock, so we can
avoid mid-chain wakeup races from try_to_wake_up() called by
the ww_mutex logic.
