[PATCHSET v3 sched_ext/for-6.20] sched_ext: Fix ops.dequeue() semantics
The callback ops.dequeue() is provided to let BPF schedulers observe when a task leaves the scheduler, either because it is dispatched or due to a task property change. However, this callback is currently unreliable and not invoked systematically, which can result in missed ops.dequeue() events. In particular, once a ...
Currently, ops.dequeue() is only invoked when the sched_ext core knows that a task resides in BPF-managed data structures, which causes it to miss scheduling property change scenarios. As a result, BPF schedulers cannot reliably track task state. In addition, some ops.dequeue() callbacks can be skipped (e.g., during d...

Add a new kselftest to validate that: - every enqueue is followed by proper dequeue, - dispatch dequeues happen exactly once per enqueue, - property change dequeues (%SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE) only happen for property changes, - no duplicate enqueues without proper dequeue. Test scenarios: - direct dispatch to loc...
