In fact, without explicitly tagging the thread which is\ndoing the cgroup migration, there is no good way to tell apart\nscx_move_task() invocations for racing migration to the root cgroup and an\nautogroup migration.\n\nThis led to scx_move_task() incorrectly ignoring a migration from non-root\ncgroup to an autogroup of the root cgroup triggering the following warning:\n\n WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/ext.c:3725 scx_cgroup_can_attach+0x196/0x340\n ...\n Call Trace:\n \n cgroup_migrate_execute+0x5b1/0x700\n cgroup_attach_task+0x296/0x400\n __cgroup_procs_write+0x128/0x140\n cgroup_procs_write+0x17/0x30\n kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x141/0x1f0\n vfs_write+0x31d/0x4a0\n __x64_sys_write+0x72/0xf0\n do_syscall_64+0x82/0x160\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\n\nFix it by adding an argument to sched_move_task() that indicates whether the\nmoving is for a cgroup or autogroup migration.
