KFunc scx_bpf_task_cgroup

v6.12

This function returns the sched cGroup of a task.

Definition

p->sched_task_group->css.cgroup represents the cgroup p is associated with from the scheduler's POV. SCX operations should use this function to determine p's current cgroup as, unlike following p->cgroups, p->sched_task_group is protected by p's rq lock and thus atomic w.r.t. all rq-locked operations. Can be called on the parameter tasks of rq-locked operations. The restriction guarantees that p's rq is locked by the caller.

Parameters

p: task of interest

Returns

The sched cGroup of a task

Signature

struct cgroup *scx_bpf_task_cgroup(struct task_struct *p)

Note

This kfunc returns a pointer to a refcounted object. The verifier will then ensure that the pointer to the object is eventually released using a release kfunc, or transferred to a map using a referenced kptr (by invoking bpf_kptr_xchg). If not, the verifier fails the loading of the BPF program until no lingering references remain in all possible explored states of the program.
