[RFC PATCH v2 5/5] sched: UMCG: allow to sys_umcg_kick UMCG servers

From: Peter Oskolkov
Date: Thu Jan 13 2022 - 18:40:20 EST


Add enum umcg_kick_flags:
@UMCG_KICK_RESCHED: reschedule the task; used for worker preemption
@UMCG_KICK_TTWU: wake the task; used to wake servers.

It is sometimes useful to wake UMCG servers from the userspace, for
example when a server detects a worker wakeup and wakes an idle server to
run the newly woken worker.
