From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.12-rc1 commit 9390a923e109f85b242bf676dc5bc81958d447fa category: feature bugzilla: https://atomgit.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/8335 Reference: https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commi... -------------------------------- scx_task_iter_next_locked() skips tasks whose sched_class is idle_sched_class. While it has a short comment explaining why it's testing the sched_class directly isntead of using is_idle_task(), the comment doesn't sufficiently explain what's going on and why. Improve the comment.
