Subject: [PATCH 06/17] sched_ext: Make scx_enable() take scx_enable_cmd
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 08:21:20 -1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260429182131.1780125-7-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260429182131.1780125-1-tj@kernel.org>
Pass struct scx_enable_cmd to scx_enable() rather than unpacking @ops
at every call site and re-packing into a fresh cmd inside. bpf_scx_reg()
now builds the cmd on its stack and hands it in; scx_enable() just
wires up the kthread work and waits.
Relocate struct scx_enable_cmd above scx_alloc_and_add_sched() so
upcoming patches that also want the cmd can see it.
No behavior change.
