A worker handling a steal request sent tasks to the requesting worker regardless of hpx.thread_queue.min_tasks_to_steal_pending, as it took them from its queue with allow_stealing = false. Since TheHPXProject#7726 made the work-requesting schedulers hand out tasks, this made the min_tasks_to_steal_staged test fail intermittently on CI, which runs the tests with --hpx:queuing=local-workrequesting-fifo. thread_queue::get_next_threads compared the minimum with the number of requested items instead of all pending items, which refused to steal fewer items than the minimum however many were pending. Adds a --scheduler option to the min_tasks_to_steal_staged test, which selects the scheduler through the resource partitioner, so that it can be registered for the work-requesting scheduler without conflicting with --hpx:queuing given through HPX_WITH_TESTS_COMMAND_LINE.

Explanation
Issue
#7772requires work-requesting schedulers to steal staged tasks and honor the staged-stealing settings. The shared work-requesting scheduler now carries the staged minimum in each request, converts eligible victim staged work directly into the requesting queue, acknowledges the conversion, and processes requests before local staged conversion. The idle-loop and early-limit helpers cover the configured thresholds. Tests cover FIFO and multi-channel scheduling plus threshold behavior. The documentation identifies work-requesting schedulers for both affected settings.

Thanks, the approach (the victim converts staged tasks directly into the requesting worker's queue under the claimed task channel) looks right to me, and wait_or_add_new with an explicit source queue is the same path the local-priority scheduler uses for staged stealing. A few points:
-
wait_or_add_newnow handles steal requests before converting its own staged tasks, but it ignoresallow_stealing.get_next_threadonly answers requests with tasks whenallow_stealingis set and otherwise just declines or forwards them (decline_or_forward_one_steal_requests). As it is, a worker with stealing disabled still hands out staged tasks from here. Please use the sameif (allow_stealing) ... else decline_or_forward_one_steal_requests(d)pattern. -
Please keep
handle_steal_requestnoexceptand remove thetry/catch. Ifthief_queue->wait_or_add_newthrows, the steal request is lost anyway: the requesting worker keepsrequested_ != 0and never sends another steal request, so the scheduler can't recover from this state. -
A staged steal is acknowledged with an empty
task_data, sotry_receiving_taskson the thief takes the "nothing received" path:num_recent_steals_is not incremented andlast_victim_is not updated (withHPX_HAVE_WORKREQUESTING_LAST_VICTIM). Successful staged steals then count like failed ones in the steal-half heuristic. Could the acknowledgement carry the number of converted tasks (or a flag), so that the thief can account for them? -
The staged minimum is computed from the thief's
idle_loop_countwhen the request is created and stays the same while the request circulates, also when it is re-sent from the "continue circulating" branch ofdecline_or_forward_steal_request. That's probably fine, but it would be good to mention it in a comment next tomin_tasks_to_steal_staged_. -

Fixes #7772
Proposed Changes
Any background context you want to provide?
This is based on #7771 because pending and staged stealing share the same request handler. The first commit in this branch is #7771 unchanged; once #7771 merges, this PR will contain only the two #7772 commits.
Validation: the target and all 16 scheduler unit tests pass in a Release C++20 build with work-requesting schedulers enabled.
