scx_task_iter_relock(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 scx_task_iter_relock 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about scx_task_iter_relock(9) — yes that's a mouthful, we'll get through it together bestie 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

scx_task_iter_relock — grab scx_tasks_lock back, and optionally also @p's rq while you're at it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void scx_task_iter_relock (struct scx_task_iter *iter, struct task_struct *p);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • iter — the iterator you wanna relock, bestie. that's the one.
  • p — the task whose rq you want locked, or NULL if you only want scx_tasks_lock and nothing else. no rq for you, just the plain lock 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this is the counterpart to scx_task_iter_unlock — like, the other half of the duo, the remix, the re-acquisition arc ✨

locking p's rq is optional. you can take it or leave it, no pressure, we're not like that.

once they're re-acquired though? both locks are managed by the iterator from here on out, periodt. the iterator is the main character now 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the kernel file lives at ./kernel/sched/ext/ext.c, and honestly the whole friend group is here, so let's do the roll call 💀

and that's the whole vibe check bestie 💜 this page is from the ./kernel/sched/ext corner of the kernel and it's dated October 2026 — go forth and relock responsibly, ily 🧚✨
