For flexibility, sched_ext allows the BPF scheduler to select the CPU to execute a task on at dispatch time so that e.g. a queue can be shared across multiple CPUs. To enable this, the dispatch path is executed from balance() so that a dispatched task can be hot-migrated to its target CPU. This means that sched_ext needs its balance() method invoked before every pick_next_task() even when the CPU is waking up from SCHED_IDLE. for_balance_class_range() defined in kernel/sched/ext.h implements this selective iteration promotion. However, the indirection obfuscates more than helps. Open code the iteration promotion in put_prev_task_balance() and remove for_balance_class_range(). No functional changes intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
